Usage

Loading a WOFF/OTF/TTF font

// case 1: from an URL
const buffer = fetch('/fonts/my.woff').then(res => res.arrayBuffer());
// case 2: from filesystem (node)
const buffer = require('fs').promises.readFile('./my.woff');
// case 3: from an <input type=file id=myfile>
const buffer = document.getElementById('myfile').files[0].arrayBuffer();

// if running in async context:
const font = opentype.parse(await buffer);
console.log(font);

// if not running in async context:
buffer.then(data => {
    const font = opentype.parse(data);
    console.log(font);
})

Loading a WOFF2 font

WOFF2 Brotli compression perform 29% better than it WOFF predecessor. But this compression is also more complex, and would result in a much heavier (>10×!) opentype.js library (≈120KB => ≈1400KB).

To solve this: Decompress the font beforehand (for example with fontello/wawoff2).

// promise-based utility to load libraries using the good old <script> tag
const loadScript = (src) => new Promise((onload) => document.documentElement.append(
  Object.assign(document.createElement('script'), {src, onload})
));

const buffer = //...same as previous example...

// load wawoff2 if needed, and wait (!) for it to be ready
if (!window.Module) {
  const path = 'https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/build/decompress_binding.js'
  const init = new Promise((done) => window.Module = { onRuntimeInitialized: done});
  await loadScript(path).then(() => init);
}
// decompress before parsing
const font = opentype.parse(Module.decompress(await buffer));

Loading a font (1.x style)

This example relies on the deprecated .load() method

// case 1: from an URL
const font = opentype.load('./fonts/my.woff', {}, {isUrl: true});
// case 2: from filesystem
const font = opentype.load('./fonts/my.woff', {}, {isUrl: false});

// ... play with `font` ...
console.log(font.supported);

Writing a font

Once you have a Font object (either by using opentype.load() or by creating a new one from scratch) you can write it back out as a binary file.

In the browser, you can use Font.download() to instruct the browser to download a binary .OTF file. The name is based on the font name.

// Create the bézier paths for each of the glyphs.
// Note that the .notdef glyph is required.
const notdefGlyph = new opentype.Glyph({
    name: '.notdef',
    advanceWidth: 650,
    path: new opentype.Path()
});

const aPath = new opentype.Path();
aPath.moveTo(100, 0);
aPath.lineTo(100, 700);
// more drawing instructions...
const aGlyph = new opentype.Glyph({
    name: 'A',
    unicode: 65,
    advanceWidth: 650,
    path: aPath
});

const glyphs = [notdefGlyph, aGlyph];
const font = new opentype.Font({
    familyName: 'OpenTypeSans',
    styleName: 'Medium',
    unitsPerEm: 1000,
    ascender: 800,
    descender: -200,
    glyphs: glyphs});
font.download();

If you want to inspect the font, use font.toTables() to generate an object showing the data structures that map directly to binary values. If you want to get an ArrayBuffer, use font.toArrayBuffer().

The Font object

A Font represents a loaded OpenType font file. It contains a set of glyphs and methods to draw text on a drawing context, or to get a path representing the text.

glyphs: an indexed list of Glyph objects.
unitsPerEm: X/Y coordinates in fonts are stored as integers. This value determines the size of the grid. Common values are 2048 and 4096.
ascender: Distance from baseline of highest ascender. In font units, not pixels.
descender: Distance from baseline of lowest descender. In font units, not pixels.

`Font.getPath(text, x, y, fontSize, options)`

Create a Path that represents the given text.

x: Horizontal position of the beginning of the text. (default: 0)
y: Vertical position of the baseline of the text. (default: 0)
fontSize: Size of the text in pixels (default: 72).
options: {GlyphRenderOptions} passed to each glyph, see below

Options is an optional {GlyphRenderOptions} object containing:

script: script used to determine which features to apply (default: "DFLT" or "latn")
language: language system used to determine which features to apply (default: "dflt")
kerning: if true takes kerning information into account (default: true)
features: an object with OpenType feature tags as keys, and a boolean value to enable each feature. Currently only ligature features "liga" and "rlig" are supported (default: true).
hinting: if true uses TrueType font hinting if available (default: false).
colorFormat: the format colors are converted to for rendering (default: "hexa"). Can be "rgb"/"rgba" for rgb()/rgba() output, "hex"/"hexa" for 6/8 digit hex colors, or "hsl"/"hsla" for hsl()/hsla() output. "bgra" outputs an object with r, g, b, a keys (r/g/b from 0-255, a from 0-1). "raw" outputs an integer as used in the CPAL table.
fill: font color, the color used to render each glyph (default: "black")

Note: there is also Font.getPaths() with the same arguments, which returns a list of Paths.

`Font.draw(ctx, text, x, y, fontSize, options)`

Create a Path that represents the given text.

ctx: A 2D drawing context, like Canvas.
x: Horizontal position of the beginning of the text. (default: 0)
y: Vertical position of the baseline of the text. (default: 0)
fontSize: Size of the text in pixels (default: 72).
options: {GlyphRenderOptions} passed to each glyph, see Font.getPath()

Options is an optional object containing:

kerning: if true, takes kerning information into account (default: true)
features: an object with OpenType feature tags as keys, and a boolean value to enable each feature. Currently only ligature features "liga" and "rlig" are supported (default: true).
hinting: if true uses TrueType font hinting if available (default: false).

`Font.drawPoints(ctx, text, x, y, fontSize, options)`

Draw the points of all glyphs in the text. On-curve points will be drawn in blue, off-curve points will be drawn in red. The arguments are the same as Font.draw().

`Font.drawMetrics(ctx, text, x, y, fontSize, options)`

Draw lines indicating important font measurements for all glyphs in the text. Black lines indicate the origin of the coordinate system (point 0,0). Blue lines indicate the glyph bounding box. Green line indicates the advance width of the glyph.

`Font.stringToGlyphs(string)`

Convert the string to a list of glyph objects. Note that there is no strict 1-to-1 correspondence between the string and glyph list due to possible substitutions such as ligatures. The list of returned glyphs can be larger or smaller than the length of the given string.

`Font.charToGlyph(char)`

Convert the character to a Glyph object. Returns null if the glyph could not be found. Note that this function assumes that there is a one-to-one mapping between the given character and a glyph; for complex scripts, this might not be the case.

`Font.getKerningValue(leftGlyph, rightGlyph)`

Retrieve the value of the kerning pair between the left glyph (or its index) and the right glyph (or its index). If no kerning pair is found, return 0. The kerning value gets added to the advance width when calculating the spacing between glyphs.

`Font.getAdvanceWidth(text, fontSize, options)`

Returns the advance width of a text.

This is something different than Path.getBoundingBox(); for example a suffixed whitespace increases the advancewidth but not the bounding box or an overhanging letter like a calligraphic 'f' might have a quite larger bounding box than its advance width.

This corresponds to canvas2dContext.measureText(text).width

fontSize: Size of the text in pixels (default: 72).
options: {GlyphRenderOptions}, see Font.getPath()

`Font.layers.updateColrTable(glyphIndex, layers)`

Mainly used internally. Updates the colr table, adding a baseGlyphRecord if needed, ensuring that it's inserted at the correct position, updating numLayers, and adjusting firstLayerIndex values for all baseGlyphRecords according to any deletions or insertions.

The `Font.variation` object (`VariationManager`)

The VariationManager handles variable font properties using the OpenType font variation tables.

The Glyph object

A Glyph is an individual mark that often corresponds to a character. Some glyphs, such as ligatures, are a combination of many characters. Glyphs are the basic building blocks of a font.

font: A reference to the Font object.
name: The glyph name (e.g. "Aring", "five")
unicode: The primary unicode value of this glyph (can be undefined).
unicodes: The list of unicode values for this glyph (most of the time this will be 1, can also be empty).
index: The index number of the glyph.
advanceWidth: The width to advance the pen when drawing this glyph.
leftSideBearing: The horizontal distance from the previous character to the origin (0, 0); a negative value indicates an overhang
xMin, yMin, xMax, yMax: The bounding box of the glyph.
path: The raw, unscaled path of the glyph.

`Glyph.getPath(x, y, fontSize, options, font)`

Get a scaled glyph Path object for use on a drawing context.

x: Horizontal position of the glyph. (default: 0)
y: Vertical position of the baseline of the glyph. (default: 0)
fontSize: Font size in pixels (default: 72).
options: {GlyphRenderOptions}, see Font.getPath()
font: a font object, needed for rendering COLR/CPAL fonts to get the layers and colors

`Glyph.getBoundingBox()`

Calculate the minimum bounding box for the unscaled path of the given glyph. Returns an opentype.BoundingBox object that contains x1/y1/x2/y2. If the glyph has no points (e.g. a space character), all coordinates will be zero.

`Glyph.draw(ctx, x, y, fontSize, options, font)`

Draw the glyph on the given context.

ctx: The drawing context.
x: Horizontal position of the glyph. (default: 0)
y: Vertical position of the baseline of the glyph. (default: 0)
fontSize: Font size, in pixels (default: 72).
options: {GlyphRenderOptions}, see Font.getPath()
font: a font object, needed for rendering COLR/CPAL fonts to get the layers and colors

`Glyph.drawPoints(ctx, x, y, fontSize, options, font)`

Draw the points of the glyph on the given context. On-curve points will be drawn in blue, off-curve points will be drawn in red. The arguments are the same as Glyph.draw().

`Glyph.drawMetrics(ctx, x, y, fontSize)`

Draw lines indicating important font measurements for all glyphs in the text. Black lines indicate the origin of the coordinate system (point 0,0). Blue lines indicate the glyph bounding box. Green line indicates the advance width of the glyph. The arguments are the same as Glyph.draw().

`Glyph.toPathData(options)`, `Glyph.toDOMElement(options)`, `Glyph.toSVG(options)`, `Glyph.fromSVG(pathData, options)`,

These are currently only wrapper functions for their counterparts on Path objects (see documentation there), but may be extended in the future to pass on Glyph data for automatic calculation.

`Glyph.getLayers(font)`

Gets the color glyph layers for this glyph from the specified font's COLR/CPAL tables

The Path object

Once you have a path through Font.getPath() or Glyph.getPath(), you can use it.

commands: The path commands. Each command is a dictionary containing a type and coordinates. See below for examples.
fill: The fill color of the Path. Color is a string representing a CSS color. (default: 'black')
stroke: The stroke color of the Path. Color is a string representing a CSS color. (default: null; the path will not be stroked)
strokeWidth: The line thickness of the Path. (default: 1, but if stroke is null no stroke will be drawn)

`Path.draw(ctx)`

Draw the path on the given 2D context. This uses the fill, stroke, and strokeWidth properties of the Path object.

ctx: The drawing context.

`Path.getBoundingBox()`

Calculate the minimum bounding box for the given path. Returns an opentype.BoundingBox object that contains x1/y1/x2/y2. If the path is empty (e.g. a space character), all coordinates will be zero.

`Path.toPathData(options)`

Convert the Path to a string of path data instructions. See https://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/paths.html#PathData

options:
- decimalPlaces: The amount of decimal places for floating-point values. (default: 2)
- optimize: apply some optimizations to the path data, e.g. removing unnecessary/duplicate commands (true/false, default: true)
- flipY: whether to flip the Y axis of the path data, because SVG and font paths use inverted Y axes. (true: calculate from bounding box, false: disable; default: true)
- flipYBase: Base value for the base flipping calculation. You'll probably want to calculate this from the font's ascender and descender values. (default: automatically calculate from the path data's bounding box)

`Path.toSVG(options)`

Convert the path to an SVG <path> element, as a string.

options: see Path.toPathData()

`Path.fromSVG(pathData, options)`

Retrieve path from SVG path data.

Either overwriting the path data for an existing path:

const path = new Path();
path.fromSVG('M0 0');

Or creating a new Path directly:

const path = Path.fromSVG('M0 0');

pathData: Either a string of SVG path commands, or (only in browser context) an SVGPathElement
options:
- decimalPlaces, optimize, flipY, flipYBase: see Path.toPathData()
- scale: scaling value applied to all command coordinates (default: 1)
- x/y: offset applied to all command coordinates on the x or y axis (default: 0)

Path commands

Move To: Move to a new position. This creates a new contour. Example: {type: 'M', x: 100, y: 200}
Line To: Draw a line from the previous position to the given coordinate. Example: {type: 'L', x: 100, y: 200}
Curve To: Draw a bézier curve from the current position to the given coordinate. Example: {type: 'C', x1: 0, y1: 50, x2: 100, y2: 200, x: 100, y: 200}
Quad To: Draw a quadratic bézier curve from the current position to the given coordinate. Example: {type: 'Q', x1: 0, y1: 50, x: 100, y: 200}
Close: Close the path. If stroked, this will draw a line from the first to the last point of the contour. Example: {type: 'Z'}
