sfntly-py

Python bindings for Google's sfntly, a font manipulation library written in Java.

The package currently include the following modules:

sfntly.sfnttool

• convert(fmt, infile, outfile="", verbose=False, save_log=False)

  Use "sfnttool.jar" to convert the input font file 'infile' to format 'fmt'. Supported formats are EOT and WOFF 1.0. Return 0 if successful, else return an error code. If 'verbose' is True, print messages to stdout/stderr. If 'save_log' is True, write exception traceback to a text file.

Example:

    >>> from sfntly import sfnttool
    # save WOFF in the same location of input font
    >>> sfnttool.convert('woff', 'font.ttf')
    0
    # save EOT to destination 'outfile', and print more info to stdout
    >>> sfnttool.convert('eot', 'font.ttf', outfile='webfonts/font.eot', verbose=True)
    $ java -jar sfnttool.jar -e -x "font.ttf" "webfonts/font.eot"
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: source table must not be null
