OpenBakery is a command-line tool for validating font binaries and, optionally, their source files and metadata.

Requirements

• Python version 3.8 (or greater)
  To determine if your system has Python installed and which version, run this command: python --version
  Please refer to the instructions provided at python.org for downloading and installing Python on your platform.

• pip version 22.0 (or greater)
  To determine if your Python environment has pip installed and which version, run this command: python -m pip --version
  Please refer to the instructions provided at pip.pypa.io for downloading and installing pip on your Python environment.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: If you have Python 2.x installed in your system, you may have to use python3 (instead of python) in the commands below.

Installation

Command to install a stable version of OpenBakery:

python -m pip install --upgrade openbakery

Command to install a beta version of OpenBakery:

python -m pip install --upgrade --pre openbakery

OpenBakery's functionality is organized into profiles. Each profile invokes specific font checks. To get a list of all the profiles run this command:

openbakery --list-subcommands

adobefonts
fontbureau
fontwerk
googlefonts
iso15008
notofonts
opentype
ufo-sources
universal
proposals
check-profile

The installation commands above enable you to run the universal or the opentype profiles on a font, like so:

openbakery universal MyFont-Regular.ttf

To test your fonts with other profiles, you need to install openbakery with a corresponding extra. The command below installs openbakery with all the necessary dependencies for running the checks in the googlefonts profile:

python -m pip install --upgrade 'openbakery[googlefonts]'

Usage

If you made it this far, congratulation! You should now be ready to "bake" your fonts. 😀 🥯🍞🥖🥨🥐🫓🧁

The documentation contains many examples of how to run openbakery with its various options.
