ftCLI is a command line interface built with click to edit fonts using FontTools.
Python >=3.7 <3.11 is required to install ftCLI.
The following packages will be installed during setup:
- fonttools
- afdko
- beziers
- brotli
- click
- cffsubr
- dehinter
- pathvalidate
- rich
- skia-pathops
- ttfautohint-py
- zopfli
pip install font-cli
Or, to install in editable mode:
git clone https://github.com/ftCLI/ftCLI.git
cd ftCLI
pip install -e .
To start using ftCLI, just install, open a shell and type ftcli --help to list all commands.
Each level 1 command has its own help...
... as well as each level 2 command.
Remember to use --no-overwrite or -out to avoid overwriting your fonts when experimenting.
With some exceptions, all ftCLI subcommands process files in the given path. The INPUT_PATH argument can be generally
a single font file or a folder containing one or more fonts. In case a directory is passed as INPUT_PATH, all fonts
stored in it will be processed, with the exclusion of fonts stored in subdirectories.
The -out, -output-dir, --recalc-timestamp and --no-overwrite options can be used in all subcommands, unless
otherwise specified.
The directory where the output files are to be saved. If output_dir is not specified, files are saved to the same
folder. If the user passes a directory that doesn't exist, it will be automatically created.
By default, original head.modified value is kept when a font is saved. Use this option to set head.modified
timestamp to current time.
By default, modified files are overwritten. Use this switch to save them to a new file (numbers are appended at the end of file name, so that Times-Bold.otf becomes TimesBold#1.otf).
ftcli metrics align "C:\Fonts" -out "C:\Fonts\Aligned"

A set of tools to correctly compile the 'name' table and set proper values for usWeightClass, usWidthClass, Bold, Italic and Oblique bits.
Usage:
ftcli assistant
Commands:
commit
init-config
init-data
ui
The logical steps are the following:
- Create a CSV file containing, for each font in the source path, the following data:
- File path
- Family name
- usWidthClass
- usWeightClass
- Slope classes (Italic and/or Oblique) and Bold flag
- Weight, Width and Slope style names
- Review the CSV file
- Write data from the CSV file to the target fonts: this will compile the name table and set the proper usWidthClass, usWeightClass Slope class and Bold values.
Step 1 can be executed with one of the following commands:
ftcli assistant init-data INPUT_PATHftcli assistant ui INPUT_PATH
The first command will create a directory named ftCLI_files containing two files: fonts_data.csv and
styles_mapping.json. The second one will open the command line user interface that allows to edit both.
The styles_mapping.json is created at first, unless it already exists, and contains the default Style Names to pair
with usWidthClass, usWeightClass and Slope class. The default values are the following:
{
"italics": ["It", "Italic"],
"obliques": ["Obl", "Oblique"],
"weights": {
"250": ["Th", "Thin" ],
"275": ["XLt", "ExtraLight"],
"300": ["Lt", "Light"],
"350": ["Bk", "Book"],
"400": ["Rg", "Regular"],
"500": ["Md", "Medium"],
"600": ["SBd", "SemiBold"],
"700": ["Bd", "Bold"],
"800": ["XBd", "ExtraBold"],
"850": ["Hvy", "Heavy"],
"900": ["Blk","Black"],
"950": ["Ult", "Ultra"]
},
"widths": {
"1": ["Cm", "Compressed"],
"2": ["XCn", "ExtraCondensed"],
"3": ["Cn", "Condensed"],
"4": ["Nr", "Narrow"],
"5": ["Nor","Normal"],
"6": ["Wd", "Wide"],
"7": ["Ext", "Extended"],
"8": ["XExt", "ExtraExtended"],
"9": ["Exp", "Expanded"]
}
}
After creation of styles_mapping.json, all valid font files found in INPUT_PATH are parsed to retrieve Family Name,
usWidthClass, usWeightClass, Slope Class (Upright, Italic or Oblique). The process searches for matches between the
retrieved values and the JSON data, trying to determine the proper style names. The results are written into the
fonts_data.csv file.
The fonts_data.csv contains the following columns:
file_name: path to the font filefamily_name: the font's family name, retrieved reading the name tableis_bold: True if the bold bits are set, False if they are not set. This column is present only for completeness, but it's value will be ignored. A font will be set as bold only and only if, while running theftcli assistant commitcommand, the user will choose to use linked styles. (-ls / --linked styles) option while writing data from CSV to fontsis_italic: True if the italic bits are set, False if they are not setis_oblique: True if the oblique bit is set, False if it's not setus_width_class: usWidthClass valueus_weight_class: usWeightClass valuewdt: short literal for the Width style namewidth: long literal for the Width style namewgt: short literal for the Weight style nameweight: long literal for the Weight style nameslp: short literal for the Slope style nameslope: long literal for the Slope style nameselected: 0 to exclude the file while writing data from CSV to fonts, 1 to include the file
Both files can be edited manually or using the character interface.
Step 2 can be executed, after reviewing fonts_data.csv, running the ftcli assistant commit command.
Opens the character user interface to edit the styles_mapping.json and fonts_data.csv files. If one or both files
do not exist, they will be automatically created.
Usage
ftcli assistant ui INPUT_PATH
The main window displays a list of fonts found in INPUT_PATH and allows to access the editors for
styles_mapping.json and fonts_data.csv.
The Main Window:
The Styles Mapping Editor:
The Fonts Data Editor:
When the fonts_data.csv file contains the desired values, data are ready to be written to fonts using the ftcli assistant commit command.
Writes data from CSV to fonts.
Usage:
ftcli assistant commit [OPTIONS] INPUT_PATH
Options:
--width-elidable TEXT The width word to elide when building the
namerecords. [default: Normal]
--weight-elidable TEXT The weight word to elide when building the
namerecords. [default: Regular]
-ls, --linked-styles <INTEGER RANGE INTEGER RANGE>...
Use this option to activate linked styles.
If this option is active, linked styles must
be specified. For example: -ls 400 700, or
-ls 300 600.
-x, --exclude-namerecords [1|2|3|4|5|6|16|17|18]
Name IDs to skip. The specified name IDs
won't be recalculated. This option can be
repeated (for example: -x 3 -x 5 -x 6...).
-swdt, --shorten-width [1|4|6|16|17]
Name IDs where to use the short word for
width style name (for example, 'Cn' instead
of 'Condensed'). This option can be repeated
(for example: -swdt 1 -swdt 5, -swdt 16...).
-swgt, --shorten-weight [1|4|6|17]
Name IDs where to use the short word for
weight style name (for example, 'Md' instead
of 'Medium'). This option can be repeated
(for example: -swgt 1 -swgt 5 -swgt 6...).
-kwdt, --keep-width-elidable Doesn't remove the width elidable words (by
default, "Nor" and "Normal").
-kwgt, --keep-weight-elidable Doesn't remove the weight elidable words (by
default, "Rg" and "Regular").
-sslp, --shorten-slope [4|6|16|17]
Name IDs where to use the short word for
slope style name (for example, 'It' instead
of 'Italic'). This option can be repeated
(for example: -sslp 3 -sslp 5 -sslp 6...).
-sf, --super-family Superfamily mode. This option affects name
IDs 3, 6, 16 and 17 in case of families with
widths different than 'Normal'. If this
option is active, name ID 6 will be
'FamilyName-WidthWeightSlope' instead of
'FamilyNameWidth-WeightSlope'. Mac and OT
family/subfamily names will be FamilyName /
Width Weight Slope' instead of 'Family Name
Width / Weight Slope'.
-aui, --alt-uid Use alternate unique identifier. By default,
nameID 3 (Unique identifier) is calculated
according to the following scheme:
'Version;Vendor code;PostscriptName'. The
alternate unique identifier is calculated
according to the following scheme:
'Manufacturer: Full Font Name: Creation
Year'.
-obni, --oblique-not-italic By default, if a font has the oblique bit
set, the italic bits will be set too. Use
this option to override the default
behaviour (for example, when the family has
both italic and oblique styles and you need
to keep oblique and italic styles separate).
The italic bits will be cleared when the
oblique bit is set.
--no-auto-shorten When name id 1, 4 or 6 are longer than
maximum allowed (27 characters for nameID 1,
31 for nameID 4 and 29 for nameID 6), the
script tries to auto shorten those names
replacing long words with short words. Use
this option to prevent the script from auto
shortening names.
-cff If this option is active, fontNames,
FullName, FamilyName and Weight values in
the 'CFF' table will be recalculated.

Vertical metrics tools.
Usage:
ftcli metrics [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...
Options:
--help Show this message and exit.
Commands:
align
copy
set-linegap
Aligns all fonts stored in INPUT_PATH folder to the same baseline.
To achieve this, the script finds the maximum ascender and the minimum descender values of the fonts stored in the INPUT_PATH folder and applies those values to all fonts.
This can produce undesired effects (an exaggerated line height) when one or more fonts contain swashes, for example. In
such cases, it's better to copy the vertical metrics from a template font to one or more destination fonts using the
ftcli metrics copy command.
See https://kltf.de/download/FontMetrics-kltf.pdf for more information.
Usage:
ftcli metrics align [OPTIONS] INPUT_PATH

equal to maximum real ascender and minimum
real descender, and the sTypoLineGap is set to
zero. Use '--with-linegap' to set
sTypoAscender value to the maximum ideal
ascender (calculated from letters b, f, f, h,
k, l and t) and the sTypoDescender value to
the minimum ideal descender (calculated from
letters g, j, p, q and y). The sTypoLineGap
