Fonts Tools
Fonts tools guide
Learn how to use MetaTools font tools for format conversion, Word compatibility repair, metadata inspection, safe renaming, and web font subsetting.
Overview
The Fonts Tools section is built for practical font cleanup work that often sits between design software, Microsoft Word, web projects, and installed font libraries.
These utilities use fonttools server-side so uploads can be inspected, repaired, converted, renamed, or subsetted with clearer validation and downloadable ZIP outputs.
Common workflows
- Convert supported TTF, OTF, WOFF, and WOFF2 files and download the results individually or as a ZIP.
- Repair naming metadata when a font appears correctly in Adobe apps but is missing, duplicated, or grouped incorrectly in Microsoft Word.
- Inspect font names, glyph coverage, script support, weight, and compatibility warnings before installing or shipping a font.
Best practices
- Keep a licensed original copy before modifying or converting any font file.
- Use the inspector before and after Word repairs to compare family, style, full name, and PostScript metadata.
- For web performance, subset fonts to the scripts and punctuation your site actually needs, then export WOFF or WOFF2.
FAQ
Are uploaded fonts stored permanently?
No. Font uploads are processed in temporary server-side directories and deleted after each request completes.
Do I need a font license to use these tools?
Yes. You should only upload, modify, convert, rename, or subset fonts when your license gives you the right to do so.
