otf2ttf

This is a simple command=line script that can be installed and used to convert OTF (OpenType Font) and TTF (TrueType Font) file formats.

How to use it:

$ pip install otf2ttf
$ otf2ttf MyFont.ttf

Background

Currently these 2 PDF libraries, require TTF fonts, which is why this script was packaged up for ease of use:

• ReportLab
• FPDF

This package was built using a sample script from the fonttools project.

Below is a link to the original script:

• otf2ttf.py

This package was created to ease the use of non-programmers looking to convert their files.

More information about this script can be found in Issue #1283.
