=head1 NAME

ot2kpx - extract kerning information from OpenType fonts


=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<ot2kpx> [ I<-afm> | I<-kpx> | I<-lua> ] B<< <fontfile> >>


=head1 DESCRIPTION

B<ot2kpx> extract the kerning data from OpenType fonts and prints it
to C<stdout>, either in Adobe's KPX format (for adding to an F<afm> file)
or as a Luatex custom feature, for use with the C<\directlua> command.


=head1 OPTIONS AND ARGUMENTS

=over 4

=item B<-help>

Print a short help text and exit.

=item B<-version>

Print B<ot2kpx>'s version and exit.

=item B<-afm>, B<-kpx>

Output the kerning data in Adobe's KPX format, as used in F<afm> files.
This is the default output format.

=item B<-lua>

Output the kerning data as a Luatex custom font feature,
to be included in a C<\directlua> command.

=item B<< <fontfile> >>

The OpenType font (both F<otf> and F<ttf> format are supported).

=head1 RESTRICTIONS

=over 4

=item B<->

B<ot2kpx> doesn't implement all of the OpenType specification.
Things that are missing include: support for font files containing
multiple fonts, LookupTables with LookupTypes other than 2,
"kern" tables with format other than 0 and ValueRecords with
other types of data than just XAdvance data.

Most of these limitations won't matter, since the missing features
are rare (the only fonts I know of that use them are the non-western fonts
that come with Adobe Reader). Furthermore, many of these features define
(according to the OpenType specification) I<"subtle, device-dependent
adjustments at specific font sizes or device resolutions">;
since there's no way to express such adjustments in F<afm> format,
ignoring them seems to be the only option anyway.

=item B<->

B<ot2kpx> collects kerning data first from the "kern" table, then from
all LookupTables associated with the "kern" feature; if a kerning pair
occurs multiple times, the first value seen is chosen.
There are (or may be) several issues with this approach:

=over 4

=item -

The OpenType specification says that fonts in F<otf> format shouldn't
use the "kern" table at all, just the lookups from the "GPOS" table.
Many such fonts do, however, contain a "kern" table, but no "GPOS" table;
so we use the "kern" table anyway.

=item -

Instead of reading all LookupTables, it might be better to let the user
specify a script and language and process only the LookupTables for
those values.
However, at least in the fonts I checked, all script/language combinations
eventually point to the I<same> "kern" LookupTables, so this approach
wouldn't make any difference (apart from further complicating the code).
