We love any opportunity to be able to share our top tips and tools with you, because we know our own lives would be much harder if it wasn’t for the variety of Open Source tools we use in our font production workflow.
Which is why we’ve set up our own Github account where we like to share some tools from time to time to make your life easier.
The first thing we have to share with you is RoboChrome, an extension for the RoboFont editor, which enables font developers to add colour information to their UFO files and export it to the new colour font formats. A fantastic tool, we put it to good use when building our free FF Copa flag font that was released for the World Cup back in June.
Published under an Open Source licence, you can get your own copy of RoboChrome via our GitHub account: https://github.com/fontfont/RoboChrome
