Python script to convert a true type font collection into separate ttf files. Copy from http://pastebin.com/QXcAtP24
#!/usr/bin/env python3
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
#First released as C++ program by Hiroyuki Tsutsumi as part of the free software suite “Beer”
#I thought porting it to Python could be both a challenge and useful
