SIL's dedication to language development past and present
The FontUtils package provides a plethora of command line tools for manipulating TrueType fonts. These tools are essential to NRSI's font development processes. For Windows users, a binary installer is available. For all platforms, the Perl source code for the tools (and the supporting library package - Font::TTF) is available from a number of sources, including directly from the publicly-readable Subversion repository.
