...Compared with other PDF libraries, fpdf2 is fast, versatile, easy to learn and to extend (example). It is also entirely written in Python and has very few dependencies: Pillow, defusedxml, & fontTools. It is a fork and the successor of PyFPDF.

...Provides several types and styles of fonts for coding purposes. To build the binary font files from source, you need Python 3 along with the Adobe Font Development Kit for OpenType (AFDKO) and FontTools packages. The key to building the OTF fonts is makeotf, which is part of the AFDKO toolset. Information and usage instructions can be found by executing makeotf -h. The TTFs are generated with the otf2ttf and ttfcomponentizer tools. For convenience, a shell script named build.sh is provided in the root directory. It builds all OTFs and TTFs into a directory called target/.

Programming languages are limited to relatively few characters. As a result, combined character operators surfaced quite early, such as the widely used arrow (->), comprised of a hyphen and greater sign. It looks like an arrow if you know the analogy and squint a bit. Composite glyphs are problematic in languages such as Haskell which utilize these complicated operators (=> -< >>= etc.) extensively. The readability of such complex code improves with pretty printing. Academic articles...

Python module using FontTools to query TTF font files for metadata and font outlines in a cross-platform manner. Includes support for scanning for installed system TTF files on common platforms.
