QUESTION :
I have a situation where I need to edit a given font. but after installing font tools on mac os mojave, and enter these commands on the terminal : "ftxdumperfuser -t hhea -A d font.ttf" The command is not found.
I’m quite new to Apple and mac excuse me if this question is kind of silly.
I followed this tutorial, and open my “/usr/bin:/usr/sbin…” folders to check for the binaries but didn’t find the ftxdumperfuser binary anywhere.
Please does anyone know how to solve this and edit fonts ?
ANSWER :
The only way I got it working right now is to:
- Download the font tools package from Apple. Found them at https://developer.apple.com/download/more/?q=font, picked the one for XCode 11.
- Mount the dmg file
- Enter the disk image
cd /Volumes/macOS Font Tools - Extract the package to a folder of your choosing:
pkgutil --expand-full macOS Font Tools.pkg ~/font-tools - The CLI tools are now available in
~/font-tools/FontCommandLineTools.pkg/Payload, you may add the folder to your path, or copy the utils to your bin folder.
