| Zitat: | DTL OTMaster (OTM) is a highly sophisticated application for reviewing, editing
and saving tables of fonts with a snft file structure, as there are CFF and TTF
flavoured OpenType fonts, TrueType fonts and TrueType Collection fonts.
Font editors, like for instance the DTL FontMaster suite, FontLab Studio and
FontForge, rely on their own internal data formats for type design and font
production. In case of the batch oriented FontMaster modules, this is either an IK
or a BE file, for the Ikarus and Bezier outline description formats respectively,
along with data files for character and font encoding, font naming, kerning and
OpenType Layout features. From these data, binary fonts for the end-user are
compiled as the very last step in the font production process.
OTMaster is a tool for inspecting and adjusting such binary fonts, irrespective of
the font editor used for their creation.
A unique feature of OTMaster is, that it makes the editing of tables possible from
a graphical user interface. Furthermore, it comes with built-in tools like the
Glyph Editor for proofing and editing contours or even drawing glyphs from
scratch. A 'kern' Table Viewer is available for proofing and refining the kerning,
and a 'GSUB'/'GPOS' Viewer to visually test (and in case of GPOS also adjust)
these OpenType Layout tables.
DTL OTMaster is available for Mac OS X, Windows and Linux.
_________________________________________________________________________
The behaviour of the OTM Light versions is completely identical to the full editions, except
for the fact that it is not possible to save any modifications (although the user will be asked to do so).

dtl OTMaster is a stand-alone application whose interface makes it easy to review and
edit .otf and .ttf fonts’ tables, no matter whether these fonts have been generated
with IkarusMaster, BezierMaster, DataMaster, or any other font editor.
Font editors, like the FontMaster suite, rely on their own internal data formats for
type design and font production. With FontMaster, this is either an ik or a be file,
for Ikarus and Bezier outlines respectively, along with various data files for naming
font and glyphs, for kerning and definition of typographic layout features.
From these data, ready-to-use binary fonts are compiled as the very last step.
OTMaster is a tool whose purpose is to inspect and adjust such ready-to-use binary fonts,
irrespective with which font editor they have been created. Its advantage is that it allows
editing of tables in a graphic user interface. Moreover, it comes with additional tools like a
Glyph Editor to proof, edit and even draw glyph outlines, a ‘kern’ Table Viewer to proof and
refine the kern table, and a ‘gsub’/‘gpos’ Viewer to visually test (and in case of GPOS adjust)
these OpenType layout tables.
OTMaster can open, edit and save fonts with sfnt file structure: cff-based and tt-based
OpenType fonts, TrueType fonts and ttc (TrueType Collection) fonts.
Because OTMaster enables you to edit a binary font’s tables, which can be compared to
open-heart surgery, it is highly recommended that you know the OpenType specification,
at least as regards the tables whose entries you plan to adjust. clocal cwww
(The current version is 1.5. Please note that there were minor changes, e.g. the OS/2 table
has been updated to version 4, and nameids have been added to the name table.) |
