💖 ufo2otf 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the ufo2otf man page — this is the section 1 manual situation, and honestly? it's giving "tiny tool, huge slay" 💅. if you've got UFO font sources lying around and you want actual OTF's and webfonts out of them, this is the girl for you. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

ufo2otf — take UFO font sources and generate OTF's and webfonts 🦋

like, that's it. that's the whole job. it eats .ufo and hands you .otf. obsessed.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

usage: ufo2otf [-h] [--webfonts] [--afdko] [--diagnostics]
               infiles [infiles ...]

so the vibes here are: you give it one or more <pink>infiles</pink>, and optionally you sprinkle in some flags to change the whole situation. here's the breakdown, item by item, no skipping, we don't do that here:

positional arguments:

  • infiles — the source UFO files 🫶 (yeah, plural, you can hand it a whole friend group of them)

optional arguments:

  • -h, --help — shows this help message and then dips. exit stage left. 👋
  • --webfonts — generates webfonts in a ./webfonts subfolder ✨ (yes, a subfolder. it's organized. she's neat.)
  • --afdko — generates the OTF using the Adobe Font Development Kit for Opentype 🔥
  • --diagnostics — displays info about which font compilers you actually have available. important: no files outputted. it's just the gossip, not the goods. 💀

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

okay so like, watch her work:

$ ufo2otf OpenBodoni.ufo

this will create a file called OpenBodoni.otf. one in, one out, effortless. 👑

and now the multi-file serve:

$ ufo2otf OpenBodoni-Regular.ufo OpenBodoni-Italic.ufo OpenBodoni-Bold.ufo

this will create OpenBodoni-Regalur.otf, OpenBodoni-Italic.otf and OpenBodoni-Bold.otf. three for the price of one command, we love a bulk deal. 🎀
