Batch

Batch is a RoboFont extension to generate binary fonts in batch.

  • supports UFO, OpenType (TTF/CFF) and designSpace files as input
  • generates .otf .ttf .pfa .woff2 & variable fonts

Documentation

Once installed, Batch will add itself to the File menu:

Sources

Use the Sources section to choose which fonts to use as input.

Add fonts by dragging files into the list or use the + - buttons.

The following types of input files are supported:

  • UFO fonts
  • OpenType fonts (CFF/TTF)
  • UFO's folder
  • designspace file

If a designspace file is provided, it will be expanded into all it's sources and instances, the instances can be generated as seperate static desktop and web fonts.

Export formats

Desktop Fonts

  • .otf
  • .ttf

Web Fonts

  • .otf
  • .otf (woff2)

  • .ttf (woff2)

Variable Fonts

  • .otf
  • .otf (woff2)

Note: It is required to provide a designSpace file.

Batch will try to optimize the designspace data by performing the following actions:

  • Add off-curve points where needed to make contours compatible.
  • Add axes to the design space if they are missing.
  • Add missing glyphs by generating them from the design space.
  • Add kerning pairs to make kerning compatible.
