TTFQuery Description

FontTools-based package for querying system fonts TTFQuery is a FontTools-based software for querying system fonts.TTFQuery builds on the FontTools package to allow the Python programmer to accomplish a number of tasks:* query the system to find installed fonts* retrieve metadata about any TTF font file (even those not yet installed)- abstract family type- proper font name- glyph outlines* build simple metadata registries for run-time font matchingWith these functionalities, it is possible to readily create OpenGL solid-text rendering libraries which can accept abstract font-family names as font specifiers and deliver platform-specific TTF files to match those libraries.TTFQuery doesn't provide rendering services, but a sample implementation can be found in the OpenGLContext project, from which TTFQuery was refactored. Requirements: · Python
