fontprofile.py

#!/usr/bin/env python3
#-*- coding: utf-8 -*-

# usage: Put a bunch of fonts into a folder named like the font next to this script
# Do this: ./fontprofile.py "<FONT NAME>"
# There should now be a <FONT NAME>.mobileconfig file in the script's folder
# Don't pack too many fonts at once, iOS will complain if the file is too large
# The maximum file limit seems to be different on every iOS device, so YMMV
# Also, there are some font files (mostly exotic ones) that this script has problems with
# I think this is an encoding problem, but it mostly shouldn't be a problem
