Fonteditor-core NPM

fonteditor-core

FontEditor core functions

Feature

Read and write sfnt font like ttf, woff, woff2, eot, svg, otf.

sfnt parse
read, write, transform fonts
- ttf (read and write)
- woff (read and write)
- woff2 (read and write)
- eot (read and write)
- svg (read and write)
- otf (only read and convert to ttf)
ttf glyph adjust
svg to glyph

Usage

// read font file
import {Font} from 'fonteditor-core';
import fs from 'fs';

const buffer = fs.readFileSync('font.ttf');
// read font data, support format:
// - for ttf, otf, woff, woff2, support ArrayBuffer, Buffer
// - for svg, support string or Document(parsed svg)
const font = Font.create(buffer, {
    // support ttf, woff, woff2, eot, otf, svg
    type: 'ttf',
    // only read `a`, `b` glyphs
    subset: [65, 66],
    // read font hinting tables, default false
    hinting: true,
    // read font kerning tables, default false
    kerning: true,
    // transform ttf compound glyph to simple
    compound2simple: true,
    // inflate function for woff
    inflate: undefined,
    // for svg path
    combinePath: false,
});
const fontObject = font.get();
console.log(Object.keys(fontObject));

/* => [ 'version',
  'numTables',

*/

// write font file
const buffer = font.write({
    // support ttf, woff, woff2, eot, svg
    type: 'woff',
    // save font hinting tables, default false
    hinting: false,
    // save font kerning tables, default false
    kerning: false,
    // write glyf data when simple glyph has no contours, default false
    writeZeroContoursGlyfData: false,
    // deflate function for woff, eg. pako.deflate
    deflate: undefined,
    // for user to overwrite head.xMin, head.xMax, head.yMin, head.yMax, hhea etc.
    support: {head: {}, hhea: {}}
});
fs.writeFileSync('font.woff', buffer);

// to base64 str
font.toBase64({
    // support ttf, woff, woff2, eot, svg
    type: 'ttf'
});

// optimize glyphs
font.optimize()

// compound2simple
font.compound2simple()

// sort glyphs
font.sort()

// find glyphs
const result = font.find({
  unicode: [65]
});

const result = font.find({
  filter: function (glyf) {
    return glyf.name === 'icon'
  }
});

// merge another font object
font.merge(font1, {
  scale: 1
});

woff2

Notice: woff2 use wasm build of google woff2, before read and write woff2, we should first call woff2.init().

import {Font, woff2} from 'fonteditor-core';

// in nodejs
woff2.init().then(() => {
    // read woff2
    const font =  Font.create(buffer, {
      type: 'woff2'
    });
    // write woff2
    const buffer = font.write({type: 'woff2'});
});

// in browser
woff2.init('/assets/woff2.wasm').then(() => {
    // read woff2
    const font = Font.createEmpty();
    // write woff2
    const arrayBuffer = font.write({type: 'woff2'});
});
