Summary description: Font encodings, metrics and Lua script fragments for font creation
Announcement text:
Restructuring and update. An attempt has been made to make the script more modular. Insertion of Text Companion encoding fnt.subset declarations into font definition files is now supported. This functionality must be explicitly enabled. Basic support for sandboxing font builds is provided. This is enabled by default for fontinst, but can be used independently if other tools are utilised.
This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/fonts/utilities/fontscripts More information is at https://www.ctan.org/pkg/fontscripts
Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Manfred Lotz CTAN is run entirely by volunteers and supported by TeX user groups. Please join a user group or donate to one, see https://ctan.org/lugs .

fontscripts – Font encodings, metrics and Lua script fragments for font creation
Font encodings, metrics and Lua script fragments for generating font support packages for 8-bit engines with l3build. Optional template-based system enables the automatic generation of font tables and l3build tests. Easy addition of variable scaling to fd files (unsupported by some tools). Primarily designed for fontinst, but can be adapted for use with other programmes. Default configuration is intended to be cross-platform and require only tools included in TeX Live, but the documentation includes a simple adaption for integration with FontForge and GNU make.
