Font weight reduction tool GlyfPick

Embedded system

GlyfPick is utility software that extracts only the characters to be used from the base font data and newly generates a font file (subset font) containing only those characters. The data capacity can be significantly reduced, and it is effective for embedding outline fonts in environments where capacity is limited.

Recommended
