genSty
GenSty is a LaTex style package generator for OpenType fonts (otf/ttf) which supports W3C SMuFL notation. With gensty you can generate your LaTeX package based on any OpenType font; the generator parses ttf/otf files and creates LaTeX commands for all Unicode Symbols. In the case of SMuFL fonts, you can also include the glyphnames.json file, so it will create friendlier names and include "Private Use" symbols.

# Generate LaTeXstyle instance from font file:
latexObj = font.LaTeXstyle(author,version, "path/to/font.otf",smufl)
# then you can get for latexObj,Header(), DefCommands(), Commands() or File()Use them module to create the LaTeX package in filesystem.
import gensty
# Use the same functions as gensty CLI and handle both folder or font file
# input (path can be either font file or folder including fonts).
# Then using savePackage you can save the generated output to disk
# accorndingly.
# smufl is the path to glyphnames.json which is defined according to W3C
# Specifications https://www.w3.org/2019/03/smufl13/specification/glyphnames.html
# prepare fonts. author, version and smuf, can be None.
fonts = prepareFonts(path, version, author, smufl)
# packageName and forcedCommand can be None. They are used to force LaTeX
# pacakage name and commands respectively.
fontnames, fontfiles, files = makePackage(fonts, packageName, forcedCommand)
# creates font package in file system.
