"""
This module is *experimental*, meaning it still may evolve and change.
The `FontBuilder` class is a convenient helper to construct working TTF or
OTF fonts from scratch.
Note that the various setup methods cannot be called in arbitrary order,
due to various interdependencies between OpenType tables. Here is an order
that works:
fb = FontBuilder(...)
fb.setupGlyphOrder(...)
fb.setupCharacterMap(...)
fb.setupGlyf(...) --or-- fb.setupCFF(...)
fb.setupHorizontalMetrics(...)
fb.setupHorizontalHeader()
fb.setupNameTable(...)
fb.setupOS2()
fb.addOpenTypeFeatures(...)
fb.setupPost()
fb.save(...)
Here is how to build a minimal TTF:
```python
from fontTools.fontBuilder import FontBuilder
from fontTools.pens.ttGlyphPen import TTGlyphPen
def drawTestGlyph(pen):
pen.moveTo((100, 100))
pen.lineTo((100, 1000))
pen.qCurveTo((200, 900), (400, 900), (500, 1000))
pen.lineTo((500, 100))
pen.closePath()
fb = FontBuilder(1024, isTTF=True)
fb.setupGlyphOrder([".notdef", ".null", "space", "A", "a"])
fb.setupCharacterMap({32: "space", 65: "A", 97: "a"})
advanceWidths = {".notdef": 600, "space": 500, "A": 600, "a": 600, ".null": 0}
familyName = "HelloTestFont"
styleName = "TotallyNormal"
version = "0.1"
nameStrings = dict(
familyName=dict(en=familyName, nl="HalloTestFont"),
styleName=dict(en=styleName, nl="TotaalNormaal"),
uniqueFontIdentifier="fontBuilder: " + familyName + "." + styleName,
fullName=familyName + "-" + styleName,
psName=familyName + "-" + styleName,
version="Version " + version,
)
pen = TTGlyphPen(None)
drawTestGlyph(pen)
glyph = pen.glyph()
glyphs = {".notdef": glyph, "space": glyph, "A": glyph, "a": glyph, ".null": glyph}
fb.setupGlyf(glyphs)
metrics = {}
glyphTable = fb.font["glyf"]
for gn, advanceWidth in advanceWidths.items():
metrics[gn] = (advanceWidth, glyphTable[gn].xMin)
fb.setupHorizontalMetrics(metrics)
fb.setupHorizontalHeader(ascent=824, descent=-200)
fb.setupNameTable(nameStrings)
fb.setupOS2(sTypoAscender=824, usWinAscent=824, usWinDescent=200)
fb.setupPost()
fb.save("test.ttf")
```
And here's how to build a minimal OTF:
```python
from fontTools.fontBuilder import FontBuilder
from fontTools.pens.t2CharStringPen import T2CharStringPen
def drawTestGlyph(pen):

fb.setupCharacterMap({32: "space", 65: "A", 97: "a"})

the font will be a glyf-based TTF; if `isTTF` is False it will be
a CFF-based OTF.
The `glyphDataFormat` argument corresponds to the `head` table field
that defines the format of the TrueType `glyf` table (default=0).
TrueType glyphs historically can only contain quadratic splines and static
components, but there's a proposal to add support for cubic Bezier curves as well
as variable composites/components at
https://github.com/harfbuzz/boring-expansion-spec/blob/main/glyf1.md
You can experiment with the new features by setting `glyphDataFormat` to 1.
A ValueError is raised if `glyphDataFormat` is left at 0 but glyphs are added
that contain cubic splines or varcomposites. This is to prevent accidentally
creating fonts that are incompatible with existing TrueType implementations.
If `font` is given, it must be a `TTFont` instance and `unitsPerEm`
must _not_ be given. The `isTTF` and `glyphDataFormat` arguments will be ignored.
