This project contains miscellaneous tools for working with the Google Fonts collection. Glyph set documentation is in the encoding subdirectory.
Please install these tools using our pip package hosted on PyPI:
sudo easy_install pip
pip install --upgrade gftools
These tools are intended to work with Python 2.7 systems. While these tools may work with Python 3.x, if so, that's a happy accident. Pull Requests welcome! :)
These tools depend on the submodule GlyphsInfo.
Make sure the submodule is up to date by running:
git submodule update --init --recursive
