        ttfautohint-py
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        ``ttfautohint-py`` is a Python wrapper for `ttfautohint
        <https://www.freetype.org/ttfautohint>`__, a free auto-hinter for TrueType fonts
        created by Werner Lemberg (`@lemzwerg <https://github/lemzwerg>`__).
        
        It uses `ctypes <https://docs.python.org/3/library/ctypes.html>`__ to load the
        ``libttfautohint`` shared library and call the ``TTF_autohint`` function.
        
        Binary "wheel" packages are available for Linux (``manylinux1``), macOS and
        Windows, for both Python 2.7 and Python 3.x, with 32 and 64 bit architecture.
        They can be installed from the Python Package Index
        (`PyPI <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ttfautohint-py>`__) using the
        `pip <https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/>`__ installer.
        
        .. code:: sh
        
            $ pip install ttfautohint-py
        
        The wheels include a precompiled ``libttfautohint.so`` (``*.dylib`` on
        macOS, or ``*.dll`` on Windows) shared library which has no other dependency
        apart from system libraries. The `FreeType <https://www.freetype.org>`__ and
        the `HarfBuzz <https://github.com/harfbuzz/harfbuzz>`__ libraries are compiled
        from source as static libraries and embedded in ``libttfautohint``.
        
        To compile the ``libttfautohint.dll`` from source on Windows, you need to
        install `MSYS2 <http://www.msys2.org/>`__ and the latest MinGW-w64 toolchain.
        This is because the ``ttfautohint`` build system is based on autotools and
        thus requires a Unix-like environment.
        
        A ``Makefile`` is used to build the library and its static dependencies, thus
        the GNU `make <https://www.gnu.org/software/make/>`__ executable must be on the
        ``$PATH``, as this is called upon by the ``setup.py`` script.
        
        Because we build ``freetype``, ``harfbuzz`` and ``ttfautohint`` from their git
        source (checked in as git submodules), some relatively recent versions of the
        following development tools are also required: ``autoconf``, ``automake``,
        ``libtool``, ``flex``, ``bison`` and ``ragel``. Please check the respective
        documentation of these libraries for more information.
