c/adhd · by Reverendender@sh.itjust.works · 1yI just spent two hours trying to strip the annoying headers away from some fonts I downloaded, using python, terminal, and CotEditor. I don't know Python. I was not successful. 27 points · 8 comments · view on lemmy.world

Preface; I probably cannot help you, just curious. Why did you want to strip the headers out?

Because instead of the font showing in Font Book or Apple Pages as "IzmirNarrow-Bold" they were showing as "FONTSPRING DEMO - IzmirNarrow-Bold"

Surprised they werent just stored as strings you could edit in a hex editor or something, but then I know nothing about fonts

You could try FontForge? It's FOSS/libre and cross-platform, if you care about that.

I have it, actually, but I’m not clear on how it would do this particular task?
