Overview

FontWriter handles writing font binaries from table data

This class assembles a complete font binary from individual table data, including:

  • Writing the sfnt header (offset table)

  • Building the table directory

  • Writing table data with proper 4-byte alignment

  • Calculating all checksums

  • Updating the head table’s checksumAdjustment field

Reference: OpenType spec section on font file structure

Examples:

Write font from tables

tables = {
  'head' => head_data,
  'hhea' => hhea_data,
  'maxp' => maxp_data,
  'hmtx' => hmtx_data,
  'cmap' => cmap_data
}
binary = FontWriter.write_font(tables)
File.binwrite('subset.ttf', binary)

Write to file directly

FontWriter.write_to_file(tables, 'subset.ttf')

#initialize(tables_hash, sfnt_version: 0x00010000) ⇒ FontWriter

Initialize writer with table data

Parameters:

  • tables_hash (Hash<String, String>) —

    Map of table tag to binary data

  • sfnt_version (Integer) (defaults to: 0x00010000) —

    Font sfnt version

end

Class Method Details

.detect_sfnt_version(tables_hash) ⇒ Integer

Detect sfnt version based on table presence

Parameters:

  • tables_hash (Hash<String, String>) —

    Map of table tag to binary data

Returns:

  • (Integer) —

    Detected sfnt version

def self.detect_sfnt_version(tables_hash)
  if tables_hash.key?("CFF ") || tables_hash.key?("CFF2")
    0x4F54544F # 'OTTO' for OpenType/CFF
  else
    0x00010000 # 1.0 for TrueType
  end
end

.write_font(tables_hash, sfnt_version: nil) ⇒ String

Write complete font binary from table data

Examples:

binary = FontWriter.write_font(tables_hash)
binary = FontWriter.write_font(tables_hash, sfnt_version: 0x4F54544F)

Parameters:

  • tables_hash (Hash<String, String>) —

    Map of table tag to binary data

  • sfnt_version (Integer, nil) (defaults to: nil) —

    Font sfnt version (0x00010000 for TrueType, 0x4F54544F for OpenType/CFF). If nil, auto-detects based on tables.

Returns:

  • (String) —

    Complete font binary

  # Auto-detect sfnt version if not provided
  sfnt_version ||= detect_sfnt_version(tables_hash)
  new(tables_hash, sfnt_version: sfnt_version).write
end

.write_to_file(tables_hash, path, sfnt_version: nil) ⇒ Integer

Write font binary to file

Examples:

FontWriter.write_to_file(tables_hash, 'output.ttf')

Parameters:

  • tables_hash (Hash<String, String>) —

    Map of table tag to binary data

  • path (String) —

    Output file path

  • sfnt_version (Integer, nil) (defaults to: nil) —

    Font sfnt version. If nil, auto-detects.

Returns:

  • (Integer) —

    Number of bytes written
