DTL OTMaster 10.3 Released

LeMo aka PatternMan aka Frank E Blokland

After many years of development and iteration since version 8.9, DTL OTMaster 10.3 is finally available. The release introduces new tools, including a Font Statistics Tool and TTF to CFF conversion (and vice versa). In addition, STAT and avar tables can now be edited, kerning variation records are fully editable, and the Side-by-Side Viewer has been enhanced. UFO export has been improved, with preserved composite glyphs and inclusion of lib.plist. Several minor bug fixes address glyph positioning (with vhea, vmtx, and bbox on), auto-hinting, and text color in selected labels.

OTM 10.3 runs natively on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs (both versions are now code-signed), Windows 64-bit, and Linux. Licensees who purchased a full version in 2025 or 2026 are entitled to a free upgrade; all other licensees may obtain the upgrade at a strongly reduced price.

Is avar editing limited to the v1 table structure as defined in the current OT spec, or would it be possible to use OTMaster to edit ‘avar2’ tables?

Hi John, I’ve just sent you a download link so you can check out for yourself what we currently support. I’m afraid there will always be something to wish for; we’ll add these things to the to-do list for the next version.

Thanks!

Hi Mr. Blokland,
Please, could you send the link to me, too?

Hi Sami, thanks for your order: I see you have already downloaded the file. John has special privileges because he has been an OTM tester from the beginning and was, for example, also a speaker at the DTL Type[&]Design Conference in The Hague in 2009, the year we first launched OTM.
