This release of the Adobe Font Development Kit for OpenType (AFDKO) contains the set of tools used by the Adobe Type Department to make OpenType fonts. These command-line programs that will allow you to build an OpenType font from an existing font, verify the contents of the font, and proof the font on screen or on paper.
The AFDKO also contains useful technical documentation and some of the source material required to produce OpenType fonts, as well as instructions on how to create and structure this source material for your own font production work.
Note! Although the FDK directory tree contains a number of Python scripts, none of them can be used by double-clicking on them; they can only be successfully called from the command-line. Most of the scripts now have an OpenSource license, so that you alter them as you like.
