mtiLib: Read Monotype FontDame source files¶
FontTools provides support for reading the OpenType layout tables produced by
Monotype’s FontDame and Font Chef font editors. These tables are written in a
simple textual format. The mtiLib
library parses these text files and creates
table objects representing their contents.
Additionally, fonttools mtiLib
will convert a text file to TTX XML.

DeferredMapping
[source]¶ -
clear
() → None. Remove all items from D.¶
-
copy
() → a shallow copy of D¶
-
fromkeys
(value=None, /)¶ Create a new dictionary with keys from iterable and values set to value.
-
get
(key, default=None, /)¶ Return the value for key if key is in the dictionary, else default.
-
items
() → a set-like object providing a view on D’s items¶
-
keys
() → a set-like object providing a view on D’s keys¶
-
pop
(k[, d]) → v, remove specified key and return the corresponding value.¶ If key is not found, default is returned if given, otherwise KeyError is raised
-
popitem
()¶ Remove and return a (key, value) pair as a 2-tuple.
Pairs are returned in LIFO (last-in, first-out) order. Raises KeyError if the dict is empty.
-
setdefault
(key, default=None, /)¶ Insert key with a value of default if key is not in the dictionary.
Return the value for key if key is in the dictionary, else default.
-
update
([E, ]**F) → None. Update D from dict/iterable E and F.¶ If E is present and has a .keys() method, then does: for k in E: D[k] = E[k] If E is present and lacks a .keys() method, then does: for k, v in E: D[k] = v In either case, this is followed by: for k in F: D[k] = F[k]
-
values
() → an object providing a view on D’s values¶

build
(f, font, tableTag=None)[source]¶ Convert a Monotype font layout file to an OpenType layout object
A font object must be passed, but this may be a “dummy” font; it is only used for sorting glyph sets when making coverage tables and to hold the OpenType layout table while it is being built.
- Parameters
f – A file object.
font (TTFont) – A font object.
tableTag (string) – If provided, asserts that the file contains data for the given OpenType table.
- Returns
An object representing the table. (e.g.
table_G_S_U_B_
)
