If you would like to contribute to the development of fontTools, you can clone the repository from GitHub, install the package in ‘editable’ mode and modify the source code in place. We recommend creating a virtual environment, using the Python 3 venv module:
# download the source code to 'fonttools' folder git clone https://github.com/fonttools/fonttools.git cd fonttools # create new virtual environment called e.g. 'fonttools-venv', or anything you like python -m venv fonttools-venv # source the `activate` shell script to enter the environment (Un*x) . fonttools-venv/bin/activate # to activate the virtual environment in Windows `cmd.exe`, do fonttools-venv\Scripts\activate.bat # install in 'editable' mode pip install -e .
Note
To exit a Python virtual environment, enter the command deactivate.
To run the test suite, you need to install pytest. When you run the pytest command, the tests will run against the installed fontTools package, or the first one found in the PYTHONPATH.
You can also use tox to automatically run tests on different Python versions in isolated virtual environments:
Note
When you run tox without arguments, the tests are executed for all the environments listed in the tox.ini envlist. The Python versions that are not available on your system PATH will be skipped.
You can specify a particular testing environment list via the -e option, or the TOXENV environment variable:
tox -e py36 TOXENV="py36-cov,htmlcov" toxHistory
The fontTools project was started by Just van Rossum in 1999, and was maintained as an open source project at http://sourceforge.net/projects/fonttools/. In 2008, Paul Wise (pabs3) began helping Just with stability maintenance. In 2013 Behdad Esfahbod began a friendly fork, thoroughly reviewing the codebase and making changes at https://github.com/behdad/fonttools to add new features and support for new font formats.
