Use the OT specifications to check in what table which information is stored in a font.Īlso, and this is probably the most important thing: check your license if you are allowed to change anything at all in the fonts you have. Editing the wrong thing, or not all the things in fonts can render them unusable. However: in all the cases you should know what you’re doing.
You can also search for a glyph by its postscript name and by its mappings, set bookmarks in the Glyph Overview and Glyph Edit window, change glyph properties, copy and paste glyphs, add a new character, use glyph metrics to help you design the font, and more.

It’s cheap (free), requires a bit more work but is quite fun when stringed up with shell and python build scripts to batch edit bigger amounts of font files. The fact of the matter is that the software is great for building and designing fonts. Single tables can be merged back into the original font, whole font TTX dumps get converted back to completely new binary font files. TTX can dump all (or specific) tables of a binary font into readable XML files which can be edited in a text editor. Nice touch: you can side to side compare/edit multiple files.Ĭheap (free) alternative. Quite a posh paid app that lets you access and edit all the tables inside a font. The newly produced font file will work but will have lost a lot of features.Īs a font engineer I use these tools on a daily basis to work with binary font files without destroying them: It's better to change the name here because you might have used this string somewhere.Or maybe a library or something has used it.That's it.Just build and run and you'll get new name.Remember this won't change the package name or anything else.
the exclamation mark glyph is shown to the right of the activity name. Most of the time you’ll lose big parts of your OT Layout Features (glyph replacement, mark positioning, sometimes even the Kerning). One of the many changes made in WF4 is where state data is stored. When opening a binary font file in an editor the editor tries to reverse engineer the font, and that almost never works out. It’s better to use specified tools used in font production Workflows.
