Crate norad

Utilties for working with Unified Font Object files.

The types in this crate correspond to types described in the spec.

Basic Usage

Instantiate a UFO font object with a Font struct like this:

use norad::Font;

let inpath = "RoflsExtraDim.ufo";
let mut font_obj = Font::load(inpath).expect("failed to load font");

The API may be used to access and modify data in the Font:

 let layer = font_obj.default_layer();
 let glyph_a = layer.get_glyph("A").expect("missing glyph");
 assert_eq!(glyph_a.name().as_ref(), "A");

Serialize the Font to UFO files on disk with the Font::save method:

 let outpath = "RoflsSemiDim.ufo";
 font_obj.save(outpath);

Refer to the examples directory of the source repository for additional source code examples.
