Summary

The sfntly font programming library, developed by Google's Internationalization Engineering team, is now available as open source, providing a robust tool for programmers to create high-performance font manipulation applications and services in Java and C++. Known for its impressive speed, sfntly allows for rapid font subsetting, outperforming even gzip compression, and is utilized by the Google Web Fonts team and the Chrome/Chromium browser for various font-related tasks. The library offers an easy-to-use API with both high-level and low-level access to font data, supporting the editing of core TrueType and OpenType tables, with plans to expand support further. Having undergone a year of internal development, sfntly is now stable and accessible for developers to manipulate a wide range of font formats that use the sfnt container, and it invites users and contributors to participate in its ongoing evolution.
