ftCLI
ftCLI is a command line interface built with click to edit fonts using FontTools.
Python 3.7 or later is required to install ftCLI.
The following packages will be installed during setup:
- fonttools
- click
- colorama
- dehinter
- font-line
- brotli
- skia-pathops
- zopfli
Installation
git clone https://github.com/ftCLI/ftCLI.git
cd ftCLI
pip install -e .
Commands list
Arguments
INPUT_PATH
With some exceptions, all ftCLI subcommands process files in the given path. The INPUT_PATH argument can be generally a single font file or a folder containing one or more fonts. In case a directory is passed as INPUT_PATH, all fonts stored in it will be processed, with the exclusion of fonts stored in subdirectories.
General options
The -o, -output-dir, --recalc-timestamp and --no-overwrite options can be used in all subcommands, unless
otherwise specified.
-o, -output-dir DIRECTORY
The directory where the output files are to be saved. If output_dir is not specified, files are saved to the same
folder. If the user passes a directory that doesn't exist, it will be automatically created.
--recalc-timestamp
By default, original head.modified value is kept when a font is saved. Use this switch to set head.modified
timestamp to current time.
--no-overwrite
By default, modified files are overwritten. Use this switch to save them to a new file (numbers are appended at the end of file name, so that Times-Bold.otf becomes TimesBold#1.otf).
Usage examples:
ftcli metrics align "C:\Fonts" --output-dir "C:\Fonts\Aligned"
ftcli metrics copy -s "C:\Fonts\SourceFont.otf" -d "C:\Fonts\" --recalc-timestamp
ftcli metrics copy -s "C:\Fonts\SourceFont.otf" -d "C:\Fonts\" --no-overwrite
ftcli assistant
A set of tools to correctly compile the name table and set proper values for usWeightClass, usWidthClass, bold, italic and oblique bits.
The process creates a JSON configuration file and a CSV file that will be used to fix the fonts. Both files can be automatically created and eventually edited manually or using the integrated command line editor. Once everything is correctly set in the CSV file, the values inside it can be written to fonts.
1) The JSON configuration file.
The 'config.json' file contains the desired style names to pair with each usWidthClass and usWeightClass values of the family, as well as the desired italic and oblique literals:
{
"italics": ["It", "Italic"],
"obliques": ["Obl", "Oblique"],
"weights": {
"250": ["Th", "Thin"],
"275": ["ExLt", "ExtraLight"],
...
800: ["XBd", "ExtraBold"],
900: ["Blk", "Black"]
},
"widths": {
"1": ["Cm", "Compressed"],
"2": ["ExCn", "ExtraCondensed"],
...
"8": ["ExExtd", "ExtraExtended"],
"9": ["Exp", "Expanded"]
}
}
Unless you have previously created a configuration file and want to reuse it, you need to create a standard configuration file and eventually customize it.
ftcli assistant init-cfg INPUT_PATH
The above command will create a file named 'config.json' in the INPUT_PATH folder (or parent folder if INPUT_PATH is a file).
Once created the configuration file, you may be in need to edit it according to your needs.
ftcli assistant edit-cfg FILE
Values contained in the configuration file will be used to fill the data.csv file in the next steps.
2) The CSV data file.
The final data.csv file will contain the desired style names, family name, italic and oblique bits, usWidthClass and usWeightClass values. Once properly filled, the values contained in this file will be written to the fonts.
It contains 13 columns:
file_name, family_name, is_bold, is_italic, is_oblique, uswidthclass, wdt, width, usweightclass, wgt, weight, slp,
slope.
family_name: the column is filled reading nameID 16, or nameID 1 if 16 is not present.
is_italic: if OS/2.fsSelection bit 0 and head.macStyle bit 1 are set, the value is 1, otherwise 0.
is_bold: if OS/2.fsSelection bit 5 and head.macStyle bit 0 are set, the value is 1, otherwise 0.
This column is present only for completeness, but it's value will be ignored. A font will be set as bold only and only if, while running the ftcli assistant recalc-names command, the user will choose to use linked styles (-ls / --linked styles) option:
ftcli assistant recalc-names "C:\Fonts" -ls 400 700
wdt and width: these columns contain the short and long literals for the width style names (for example: Cn; Condensed).
wgt and weight: these columns contain the short and long literals for the weight style names (for example: Lt, Light).
slp and slope: these columns contain the short and long literals for the slope style names (for example: It, Italic).
The user will choose the namerecords where to write long or short literals. For example:
ftcli assistant recalc-names "C:\Fonts" -swdt 1 -swdt 4 -swdt 6 -swgt 1 -swgt 4 -swgt 6 -sslp 4 -sslp 6
The data.csv file can be created using the following command:
ftcli assistant init-csv INPUT_PATH
At this point, the CSV file will contain a representation of the actual state of the fonts (the family_name column will contain values of nameID 16, or nameID 1 if 16 is not present). It can be edited manually, using the 'ftcli assistant edit-csv' command and also automatically recalculated using the 'ftcli assistant recalc-csv' command.
The 'ftcli assistant recalc-csv' command will recalculate style names, italic bits, width and weight style names according to the values contained in the JSON configuration file.
When the 'data.csv' file contains the desired values, these values can be applied to fonts running the 'ftcli assistant recalc-names' command (see 'ftcli assistant recalc-names --help' for more information).
ftcli assistant edit-cfg
Command line editor for JSON configuration files.
Usage:
ftcli edit-cfg [OPTIONS] CONFIG_FILE
Example:
ftcli assistant edit-cfg "C:\Fonts\config.json"
It is strongly recommended using this tool to edit the JSON configuration files. It prevents malformed JSON errors and errors due to wrong values (for example, an out of range usWeightClass, or a string where's an integer is expected).
ftcli assistant edit-csv
Usage:
ftcli assistant edit-csv [OPTIONS] INPUT_PATH
Command line editor for 'data.csv' files.
This tool is not intended to replace a code editor for CSV files, but can help to make small edits without leaving the command line. For complex projects, it's strongly recommended using a code editor like Visual Studio Code or even Excel.
Options:
-c, --config-file PATH
Use a custom configuration file instead of the default config.json file located in the same folder of INPUT_PATH.
ftcli assistant init-cfg
Usage:
ftcli assistant init-cfg [OPTIONS] INPUT_PATH
Creates a JSON configuration file containing the default values in the specified INPUT_PATH folder.
Options:
-q, --quiet
Suppress overwrite confirmation message if the config.json file already exists.
ftcli assistant init-csv
Usage:
ftcli init-csv [OPTIONS] INPUT_PATH
Creates or resets the CSV database file (data.csv).
Example 1:
ftcli assistant init-csv "C:\Fonts\"
The above command will create the 'data.csv' file in C:\Fonts\ (and a configuration file with default values if it does not exist).
Example 2:
ftcli assistant init-csv "C:\Fonts\Font.otf"
The above command will create the 'data.csv' in the INPUT_PATH folder (or parent folder, if INPUT_PATH is a file).
data.csv file contains:
- the file names;
- the usWidthClass, usWeightClass, bold italic and oblique bits values of all font files found in INPUT_PATH;
- tries to guess the family name reading the name table. It also contains weight and widths literals, retrieved parsing the config.json file.
It can be edited manually or using the 'ftcli assistant edit-csv INPUT_PATH' command.
Options:
-c, --config-file PATH
Use a custom configuration file instead of the default config.json file located in the same folder of INPUT_PATH.
-q, --quiet
Suppress overwrite confirmation message if the data.csv and/or config.json files already exist.
ftcli assistant recalc-csv
Usage:
ftcli recalc-csv [OPTIONS] INPUT_PATH
Recalculates the CSV database file (data.csv).
Options:
-c, --config-file PATH
Use a custom configuration file instead of the default config.json file located in the same folder of INPUT_PATH.
-f, --family-name TEXT
The desired family name. This string will be used to recalculate the CSV lines.
-s, --source-string [fname|1_1_2|1_4|1_6|1_16_17|1_18|3_1_2|3_4|3_6|3_16_17|cff_1|cff_2]
The source string be used to recalculate the CSV lines can be the file name, a namerecord, a combination of namerecords or values stored in the 'CFF' table.
For example, -s '1_1_2' will read a combination of namerecords 1 and 2 in the Mac table. [default: fname]
-q, --quiet
Suppress overwrite confirmation message if the data.csv file already exists.
ftcli assistant recalc-names
Usage:
ftcli assistant recalc-names [OPTIONS] INPUT_PATH

ftcli metrics
Vertical metrics tools.
Usage: ftcli metrics [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...
Options:
--help Show this message and exit.
Commands:
align Aligns all fonts stored in INPUT_PATH folder to the same...
copy Copies vertical metrics from a source font to one or more...
set-linegap Modifies the line spacing metrics in one or more fonts.
ftcli metrics align
Aligns all fonts stored in INPUT_PATH folder to the same baseline.
To achieve this, the script finds the maximum ascender and the minimum descender values of the fonts stored in the INPUT_PATH folder and applies those values to all fonts.
This can produce undesired effects (an exaggerated line height) when one or more fonts contain swashes, for example. In
such cases, it's better to copy the vertical metrics from a template font to one or more destination fonts using the
ftcli metrics copy command.
See https://kltf.de/download/FontMetrics-kltf.pdf for more information.

If the -cff option is passed, the string will be replaced also in the CFF table:
ftcli names find-replace MyFont-Black.otf --os "Black" --ns "Heavy" --cff
To simply remove a string, use an empty string as new string:
ftcli names find-replace MyFont-Black.otf --os "RemoveMe" --ns ""
To replace the string in a specific platform ('win' or 'mac'):
ftcli names find-replace MyFont-Black.otf -os "Black" -ns "Heavy" -p win
To replace the string in a specific namerecord:
ftcli names find-replace MyFont-Black.otf -os "Black" -ns "Heavy" -n 6
The -p / --platform and -n / --name-id options can be combined:
ftcli names find-replace MyFont-Black.otf -os "Black" -ns "Heavy" -p win
-n 6
To exclude one or more namerecords, use the -ex / --exclude-namerecord option:
ftcli names find-replace MyFont-Black.otf -os "Black" -ns "Heavy" -ex 1 -ex 6
If a namerecord is explicitly included but also explicitly excluded, it won't be changed:
ftcli names find-replace MyFont-Black.otf -os "Black" -ns "Heavy" -n 1 -ex 1 -ex 6

won't be changed. This option can be
repeated multiple times (for example: -ex 3
-ex 5 -ex 6). [0<=x<=32767]
-o, --output-dir DIRECTORY Specify the directory where output files are
to be saved. If output_dir doesn't exist,
will be created. If not specified, files are
saved to the same folder.
--recalc-timestamp Keep the original font 'modified' timestamp
(head.modified) or set it to current time.
By default, original timestamp is kept.

created. If not specified, files are saved to
the same folder.
--recalc-timestamp By default, original head.modified value is kept
when a font is saved. Use this switch to set

(head.modified) or set it to current time.
By default, original timestamp is kept.
--overwrite / --no-overwrite Overwrites existing output files or save
them to a new file (numbers are appended at
the end of file name). By default, files are
overwritten.
--help Show this message and exit.
ftcli utils font-organizer
Renames font files according to PostScript name and sorts them by foundry and family names.
Usage: ftcli utils font-organizer [OPTIONS] INPUT_PATH
Usage: ftcli utils font-organizer INPUT_PATH
INPUT_PATH can be a single font file or a directory containing fonts
(subdirectories are not processed by choice).
Fonts are renamed according to PostScript name ('name' table nameID 6) and
sorted by Manufacturer Name (nameID 8). If nameID 8 is not present, the
script will try to read nameID 9 (Designer) and if also name ID 9 is not
present, the 4 characters achVendID stored in 'OS/2' table is used.
Family name is read from nameID 16, or nameID 1 where nameID 16 is not
present.
If two files have identical foundry name, family name and PostScript name, a
suffix with a number (#1, #2, etc.) is added at the end of filename to avoid
overwriting an existing file.
ftcli utils font-renamer
Renames font files according to the provided source string.
Usage: ftcli utils font-renamer [OPTIONS] INPUT_PATH
Options:
-s, --source-string [1_1_2|1_4|1_6|1_16_17|1_18|3_1_2|3_4|3_6|3_16_17|cff_1|cff_2]
The source string is read from a namerecord
or from a combination of two namerecords,
and the font file is renamed according to
it.
The first number in the sequence is the
platformID, while the following numbers
represent the nameID(s) numbers.
For example:
-s 1_1_2: reads the strings contained in
PlatformID 1 (Macintosh) nameID 1 and nameID
2 values and concatenates them.
-s 3_6: reads the platformID 3 (Windows)
nameID 6 (PostScript name).
If the font is CFF flavored, the cff_1 or
cff_2 options can be used.
--help Show this message and exit.
ftcli utils recalc-italic-bits
Sets or clears the italic bits according to the italicAngle value in post table.
If the italicAngle value is 0.0, the italic bits are cleared. If the value is not 0.0, the italic bits are set.
Usage: ftcli utils recalc-italic-bits [OPTIONS] INPUT_PATH
Options:
-o, --output-dir DIRECTORY The output directory where the output files are
to be created. If it doesn't exist, will be
created. If not specified, files are saved to
the same folder.
--recalc-timestamp By default, original head.modified value is kept
when a font is saved. Use this switch to set
head.modified timestamp to current time.
--no-overwrite By default, modified files are overwritten. Use
this switch to save them to a new file (numbers
are appended at the end of file name).
--help Show this message and exit.
ftcli utils remove-overlaps
Simplify glyphs in TTFont by merging overlapping contours.
Overlapping components are first decomposed to simple contours, then merged.
Currently, this only works with TrueType fonts with 'glyf' table.
Note that removing overlaps invalidates the hinting. Hinting is dropped from all glyphs whether or not overlaps are removed from a given one, as it would look weird if only some glyphs are left (un)hinted.
Usage: ftcli utils remove-overlaps [OPTIONS] INPUT_PATH
Options:
-o, --output-dir DIRECTORY The output directory where the output files are
to be created. If it doesn't exist, will be
created. If not specified, files are saved to
the same folder.
--recalc-timestamp By default, original head.modified value is kept
when a font is saved. Use this switch to set
head.modified timestamp to current time.
--no-overwrite By default, modified files are overwritten. Use
this switch to save them to a new file (numbers
are appended at the end of file name).
--help Show this message and exit.
ftcli utils ttc-extractor
Extracts .ttc fonts to otf/ttf fonts.
Usage: ftcli utils ttc-extractor [OPTIONS] INPUT_PATH
Options:
-o, --output-dir DIRECTORY The output directory where the output files are
to be created. If it doesn't exist, will be
created. If not specified, files are saved to
the same folder.
--recalc-timestamp By default, original head.modified value is kept
when a font is saved. Use this switch to set
head.modified timestamp to current time.
--no-overwrite By default, modified files are overwritten. Use
this switch to save them to a new file (numbers
are appended at the end of file name).
--help Show this message and exit.
ftcli vf2i
Exports static instances from a variable font.
INPUT_FILE must be a valid variable font (at least fvar and STAT tables must be present).
Usage: ftcli vf2i [OPTIONS] INPUT_FILE
Options:
-s, --select-instance By default, the script exports all named
instances. Use this option to select custom axis
valuesfor a single instance.
--no-cleanup By default, STAT table is dropped and axis
nameIDs are deleted from name table. Use --no-
cleanup to keep STAT table and prevent axis
nameIDs from nam table.
--update-name-table Update the instantiated font's `name` table.
Input font must have a STAT table with Axis
Value Tables
-o, --output-dir DIRECTORY Specify the output directory where instance
files are to be saved. If output_directory
