CTAN Update: fontools

[CTAN Announcements]

Marc Penninga submitted an update to the

                fontools

bundle.

Version:  2019-04-01
License:  gpl2

Summary description:  Tools to simplify using fonts (especially TT/OTF ones)

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 Changes in autoinst:

 - use only standard NFSS codes for width and weight in fd files

 - create $TEXMFHOME when it doesn't exist (but only if $TEXMFLOCAL
   isn't user-writable, since that's still the default output tree)

 - in manual mode, put all generated files into a subdir "autoinst_output/",
   instead of all over the current dir

 - add 'auto' value to the -inferiors option; autoinst will use
   whatever inferior characters the font contains
