  Description     : extract VTT (Microsoft Visual TrueType) font hinting data

A library to:
- Extract VTT hinting data from a OpenType font prepared with Microsoft Visual
  TrueType (VTT) and store it in a FontTools TTX dump
- Merge it back from a TTX dump into an OpenType font and
- Compile the data inside to font to ship it (turn TSI* tables into fpgm,
  etc.).

The primary use case is version control of hinting data of fonts.

This package is introduced as a dependency for python-gftools package. I
intent to maintain this package under the umbrella of the debian-python
team.
