This is so that: + + features can be represented in a structured human-readable and machine-readable way, analogous to the XML files of the Unified Font Object format. + features can be more directly authored by programs (such as font editors), rather than them having to output AFDKO feature file format. + features can be easily manipulated by programs - for example, features from two files merged together, or lookups moved between languages. + +Components + +fontFeatures consists of the following components: + + fontFeatures itself, which is an abstract representation of the different layout operations inside a font. + fontFeatures.feaLib (included as a mixin) which translates between Adobe feature syntax and fontFeatures representation. + fontFeatures.ttLib, which translates between OpenType binary fonts and fontFeatures representation. (Currently only OTF -> fontFeatures is partially implemented; there is no fontFeatures -> OTF compiler yet.) + fontFeatures.fontDameLib which translate FontDame text files into fontFeatures objects. + +And the following utilities: + + otf2fea: translates an OTF file into Adobe features syntax. + txt2fea: translates a FontDame txt file into Adobe features syntax. + </longdescription> +</pkgmetadata> |
