CffFont
Overview
CffFont is a class in Aspose.Font FOSS for Python.
Inherits from: Font.
CffFont.get_kern_pairs() returns a list of KernPair objects representing the kerning adjustments defined in the font.
This class provides 14 methods for working with CffFont objects in Python programs.
Available methods include: __init__, convert, encoding, font_family, font_name, font_style, font_type, get_kern_pairs, glyph_accessor, metrics, num_glyphs, save, and 2 additional methods.
All public members are accessible to any Python application after installing the Aspose.Font FOSS for Python package.
Properties: charset, charstrings, encoding, font_family, font_name, font_style, and 9 more.

Methods
| Signature | Description |
|---|---|
__init__(data: bytes, top_dict: TopDict, private_dict: PrivateDict, charset: CffCharset, encoding: CffEncoding, charstrings: CffIndex, global_subrs: CffIndex, local_subrs: CffIndex, string_index: CffIndex) | Calls init on this CffFont instance. |
get_kern_pairs() → list[KernPair] | Returns the kern pairs. |
to_bytes(font_type: FontType | None) → bytes | Serializes the font into a byte string of the specified font_type, enabling export to another format |
font_type() → FontType | Property provides the FontType of the CFF font |
font_name() → str | Returns the font’s name string |
font_family() → str | Returns the family name of the font |
font_style() → str | Returns the style descriptor (e.g., Regular, Bold) |
num_glyphs() → int | Returns the total number of glyphs in the font |
metrics() → FontMetrics | Returns a FontMetrics object containing the font’s metric data |
encoding() → FontEncoding | Returns a FontEncoding object describing the font’s character encoding |
glyph_accessor() → GlyphAccessor | Returns a GlyphAccessor for accessing individual glyph data |
save(path: str) | Writes the font to the specified filesystem path |
save_to_format(font_type: FontType, path: str) | Saves the font in the given FontType to the provided path |
convert(target: FontType) → Font | Returns a new Font object instantiated in the requested target format, enabling in‑memory format conversion before saving |
