Norad

a Rust crate for working with Unified Font Object files.

A crate for reading, writing, and manipulating Unified Font Object files, a common font-design format.

lib.rs:

Utilties for working with Unified Font Object files.

The types in this crate correspond to types described in the spec.

Basic Usage

Instantiate a UFO font object with a [Font] struct like this:

use norad::Font;

let inpath = "RoflsExtraDim.ufo";
let mut font_obj = Font::load(inpath).expect("failed to load font");
# let layer = font_obj.default_layer();
# let glyph_a = layer.get_glyph("A").expect("missing glyph");
# assert_eq!(glyph_a.name().as_ref(), "A");
# let outpath = "RoflsSemiDim.ufo";
# font_obj.save(outpath);

The API may be used to access and modify data in the [Font]:

 # use norad::Font;
 # let inpath = "RoflsExtraDim.ufo";
 # let mut font_obj = Font::load(inpath).expect("failed to load font");
 let layer = font_obj.default_layer();
 let glyph_a = layer.get_glyph("A").expect("missing glyph");
 assert_eq!(glyph_a.name().as_ref(), "A");
 # let outpath = "RoflsSemiDim.ufo";
 # font_obj.save(outpath);

Serialize the [Font] to UFO files on disk with the [Font::save] method:

 # use norad::Font;
 # let inpath = "RoflsExtraDim.ufo";
 # let mut font_obj = Font::load(inpath).expect("failed to load font");
 # let layer = font_obj.default_layer();
 # let glyph_a = layer.get_glyph("A").expect("missing glyph");
 # assert_eq!(glyph_a.name().as_ref(), "A");
 let outpath = "RoflsSemiDim.ufo";
 font_obj.save(outpath);
