# Pysilfont - a collection of utilities for font development
Pysilfont is a collection of tools to support font development, with an emphasis on UFO-based workflows. With some limitations, all UFO scripts in Pysilfont should work with UFO2 or UFO3 source files - and can convert from one format to the other.
In addition, all scripts will output UFOs in a normalized form, designed to work with source control systems.
Please read the main [documentation](docs/docs.md) in the docs folder for more details. Within there is a list of [scripts](docs/scripts.md).
## Installation
Pysilfont requires Python 3.6+ and pip3. Some scripts also need other libraries.
### Simple install
To just install the main scripts without cloning the github repository run:
```
sudo python3 -m pip install git+https://github.com/silnrsi/pysilfont
```
This will allow you to run the scripts listed in [scripts.md](docs/scripts.md), but won’t give access
to the example scripts or give you the code locally to look at.
### Full install
First clone this repository or download the files from this [github URL](https://github.com/silnrsi/pysilfont).
Then navigate to the resulting pysilfont directory and run:
```
sudo python3 -m pip install .
```
in the pysilfont directory
### Uninstalling pysilfont
pip3 can be used to uninstall pysilfont:
```
sudo pip3 uninstall pysilfont
```
