Unfancy text

This program converts "fancy text", that is, text written with an alternative set of Latin characters, such as mathematical alphabet to plain Latin characters.

Usage

Use as commandline interface:

$ python unfancy.py

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐱 𝐣𝐮𝐦𝐩𝐬 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐳𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐠
Fancy type: mathematical bold
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog

Use as a library

from unfancy import create_multi_alphabet_map, translate_text

alphabet_map = create_multi_alphabet_map()
# alphabet_map parameter is optional,
# but it is recommended to create it separately to avoid repetition
fancy_text = "𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐱 𝐣𝐮𝐦𝐩𝐬 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐳𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐠"
unfancy_text, label = translate_text(fancy_text, alphabet_map)
