Generate binary font files (.otf, .woff, .eot) about prototypo HOT 3 CLOSED

The only problem is that the CmapTable.js file looks incomplete, and it's required to generate a font without using an existing one that already has a complete cmap.

Is that an issue for v1, because there is a known character set?

.ttx isn't very useful: it has been replaced by UFO,

That seems like a strange way to view their relation to me :) As I understand it:

TTX is the XML serialization of the fontTools python object model, which represents binary SFNT data (typically TrueType and OpenType SFNTs, but also VTT and maybe others)

UFO is the XML serialization of the RoboFab python object model, which represents font source data

UFO can be compiled into TTX. In theory, since they are both XML, this could be done in-browser with XSL, but I don't know how fast that would be... The only 2 compilers that I am aware of are written in C, FontForge and the Adobe FDK. There's also https://github.com/typesupply/ufo2fdk which can also translate the UFO XML into a Adobe PostScript Type 1 font, to be run through the FDK.

Closing this issue as we now export to .otf
Support for other binary files such as woff and support for UFO/XML is a different problem.
