vttmisc 0.0.5

A collection of misc scripts related to VTT

vttmisc

A library that contains a small set of scripts related to working with VTT.

Installation and Usage

Vttmisc can be called via a build script, or directly from the command line.

$ pip install vttmisc
$ python vttmisc [-h] [--fix-offset] [--clear-svtca] [--makeCVAR] -i INPUTPATH [-s VTTPATH] [-d OUTPUT]

Options are as follows:

--clear-svtca This script clears the "SVTCA[X]" tag from your VTT source files (specifically in the TSI1 table) as these can cause misalignments of diacritical marks. I suggest using this script after autohinting.

--fix-offset This script overcomes the GID restictions placed in the font due to use of the OFFSET command. It takes a source font, and a new font, and updates the new font with the appropriate GIDs.

--makeCVAR This script generates a cvar table based on the TSIC table. Under most circumstances, output matches VTT's identically.*

*If you are doing more complex cvar modification, please double check. Most likely more complicated ones will need to go through VTT or varlib.

Additional settings:

-i input path of new font (required)

-s input path of source VTT font (required for makeCVAR)

-d output path (optional: script will export using a default name if not provided)
