otftofd is a script I wrote to help the task of generating a NFSS font description file and a map file from a large collection of OpenType fonts. In particular, when considering Adobe Pro Optical fonts, there is almost a combinatorial nightmare when attempting to create these files by hand.

This software is still alpha quality and mostly designed specifically for Adobe font conventions. It currently has experimental support for generating swashed versions of a font and fonts consisting of ornaments. There is some preliminary support for selecting encodings, but it is far from complete. The tool has been mostly tested withe the T1 Cork encoding. For more information about using the tool, invoke it with the –help option.

otftofd is written in OCaml and additionally requires Eddie Kohler's excellent LCDF Typetools.

ofttofd was originally called »adobe-font-tool«, but at the suggestion of CTAN it was renamed to hopefully be more descriptive.
