The Adobe Font Development Kit for OpenType (AFDKO) is a set of tools for building OpenType font (OTF) files from PostScript and TrueType font data. It includes the following commands:
buildcff2vfAssemble a CFF2 variable font from a .designspace file.
buildmasterotfsBuild master source OpenType/CFF fonts from a
.designspacefile and UFO master source fonts.charplotdtdigiplotdtfontplotdtfontsetplotdthintplotdtwaterfallplotAliases for the corresponding options of the
proofpdfcommand.checkoutlinesufoPerform outline quality checks. It can also remove path overlaps.
comparefamilyLook in a specific directory, examine and report on all the OpenType fonts found.
type1dtdetype1Compile and decompile, respectively, a Type 1 font to and from a plain-text representation.
makeinstancesufoGenerate UFO font instances from a set of master UFO fonts.
makeotfexeRead all the font data and build the final OpenType font.
makeotfThis command can be used to prepare the input files needed by
makeotfexe.mergefontsMerge one or more fonts into a parent font.
otc2otfExtract all OpenType fonts from the parent OpenType Collection font.
otf2otcBuild an OpenType Collection font file from two or more OpenType font files.
otf2ttfConverts OpenType-CFF fonts to TrueType.
rotatefontApply a Postscript transform matrix to the source font files.
sfntdiffLow-level comparison of two OpenType font files.
sfnteditSupport table-editing, listing, and checksumming options on sfnt-formatted files such as OpenType Format (OTF) or TrueType.
spotDump sfnt data from plain files or Macintosh resource files.
ttfcomponentizerTake in a TrueType font and look for a UFO font stored in the same directory. Use the UFO's components data to compose matching TrueType glyphs.
ttfdecomponentizerTake in a TrueType font and decompose any composite glyphs into simple glyphs.
ttxnMake a normalized dump of the font, or of selected tables.
txThe
tx(Type eXchange) is a test harness for the CoreType libraries but also provides many useful font conversion and analysis facilities.
