Adobe Font Development Kit for OpenType

The Adobe Font Development Kit for OpenType (AFDKO) is a set of tools for building OpenType font (OTF) files from PostScript and TrueType font data. It includes the following commands:

buildcff2vf: Assemble a CFF2 variable font from a .designspace file.
buildmasterotfs: Build master source OpenType/CFF fonts from a .designspace file and UFO master source fonts.
charplot: Aliases for the corresponding options of the proofpdf command.
checkoutlinesufo: Perform outline quality checks. It can also remove path overlaps.
comparefamily: Look in a specific directory, examine and report on all the OpenType fonts found.
type1: Compile and decompile, respectively, a Type 1 font to and from a plain-text representation.
makeinstancesufo: Generate UFO font instances from a set of master UFO fonts.
makeotfexe: Read all the font data and build the final OpenType font.
makeotf: This command can be used to prepare the input files needed by makeotfexe.
mergefonts: Merge one or more fonts into a parent font.
otc2otf: Extract all OpenType fonts from the parent OpenType Collection font.
otf2otc: Build an OpenType Collection font file from two or more OpenType font files.
otf2ttf: Converts OpenType-CFF fonts to TrueType.
rotatefont: Apply a Postscript transform matrix to the source font files.
sfntdiff: Low-level comparison of two OpenType font files.
sfntedit: Support table-editing, listing, and checksumming options on sfnt-formatted files such as OpenType Format (OTF) or TrueType.
spot: Dump sfnt data from plain files or Macintosh resource files.
ttfcomponentizer: Take in a TrueType font and look for a UFO font stored in the same directory. Use the UFO's components data to compose matching TrueType glyphs.
ttfdecomponentizer: Take in a TrueType font and decompose any composite glyphs into simple glyphs.
ttxn: Make a normalized dump of the font, or of selected tables.
tx: The tx (Type eXchange) is a test harness for the CoreType libraries but also provides many useful font conversion and analysis facilities.
