Source Foundry [Chris Simpkins]

Chris Simpkins (Source Foundry, Baltimore, MD) wrote these free font tools:

• font-unicode. A command line application that performs searches for Unicode character names by Unicode code points, and for Unicode code points by character names. It supports the Unicode standard v8.0.0. The query results are supplemented with the Adobe Glyph List for New Fonts v1.7 glyph names where applicable.
• compare-typefaces. Simple browser tool to compare a string between several typefaces, intended to judge the legibility of easily confusable glyphs.
• ufodiff. A command line UFO source file diff tool for collaborative typeface development projects.
• ufolint. A source file linter for typeface development in Unified Font Object (UFO) source code. It was designed for continuous integration testing of UFO source contributions to typeface projects.
• font-line: OpenType vertical metrics reporting and font line spacing adjustment tool.
• font-ttfa: A command line TTFA table reporting tool for fonts hinted with ttfautohint.
• fontname.py: Font renaming script for otf and ttf fonts.
• font-tables: An OpenType font table reporting tool for ttf and otf font files.

In addition, Chris designed the free programming font Hack (2018).
