Welcome to vfbLib’s documentation!
vfbLib` is a converter and deserializer for FontLab Studio 5 VFB files.
FontLab’s own vfb2ufo converter is from 2015, only outputs UFO v2, and contains serious bugs that are never going to be fixed. Its support on macOS is subject to Apple’s mercy (no native support for Apple Silicon).
That’s why a single determined programmer with a hex editor set out to rectify this situation.
The VFB file format is described in the vfbLib-rust repo, a work-in-progress implementation of vfbLib in rust.
Check out the Usage section for further information, including how to Development Installation the project.
