AFDKO是一组用于从 PostScript 和 TrueType 字体数据中设计OpenType字体文件的工具。

AFDKO需要[Python]（http://www.Python.org/download）3.6 或者以后的版本。

Releases are available on the Python Package Index (PyPI) and can be installed with pip.

选项 1 (推荐)

• 创建虚拟环境:

    python3 -m venv afdko_env
  

• Activate the virtual environment:

  • macOS & Linux

      source afdko_env/bin/activate
    

  • Windows

      afdko_env\Scripts\activate.bat
    

• Install afdko:

    pip install afdko
  

Installing the afdko inside a virtual environment prevents conflicts between its dependencies and other modules installed globally.

选项 2

全局性安装 afdko:

pip install --user afdko

Use the -U (or --upgrade) option to update the afdko (and its dependencies) to the newest stable release:

pip install -U afdko

To get pre-release and in-development versions, use the --pre flag:

pip install -U afdko --pre

To remove the afdko package use the command:

pip uninstall afdko

首先，您必须为您的平台安装了开发工具。

在MacOS环境中，你需要在终端中执行以下命令:

xcode-select --install

在Linux (Ubuntu 17.10 LTS or later)环境中, 你需要在终端中执行以下命令:

apt-get -y install python3.6
apt-get -y install python-pip
apt-get -y install python-dev

在Windows环境中, 你需要用到 Visual Studio 2017 软件.

To build the afdko from source, clone the afdko GitHub repository, ensure the wheel module is installed (pip install wheel), then cd to the top-level directory of the afdko, and run:

pip install .

注意

It's not possible to install the afdko in editable/develop mode using pip install -e . ; this is because the toolkit includes binary C executables which setup.py tries to install in the bin/ (or Scripts/) folder, however this process was only meant to be used with text-based scripts (either written in Python or a shell scripting language). To work around this problem (which really only impacts the few core afdko developers who need to get live feedback as they modify the source files) you can use alternative methods like exporting a PYTHONPATH, using a .pth file or similar hacks. For further details read this comment.

• The AFDKO has been restructured so that it can be installed as a Python package. It now depends on the user's Python interpreter, and no longer contains its own Python interpreter.

• Two programs, IS and checkoutlines were dropped because their source code could not be open-sourced. These tools are available in release version 2.5.65322 and older.

注意

If you install the old AFDKO as well as the new PyPI afdko package, the tools from the newer version will take precedence over the older. This happens because pip adds the afdko's package path at the beginning of the system's PATH environment variable, whereas the old installer adds it at the end; this modification to PATH is not undone by the uninstaller. If you want to completely remove the path to the newer version, you will have to edit the PATH. On the Mac, this means editing the line in your login file that sets the PATH variable. On Windows, this means editing the PATH environment variable in the system's Control Panel.
