 This allows you to cut and paste the entire binary block of a font table from one font to another. You do this by first using it on a source font with the `-x` option to copy a table from the source font to a separate file, and then using it with the `-a` option to add that table to a target font. It can also be used to simply delete a table, and to fix the font table checksums.

-This program provides reports which help in selecting the global hint data and alignment zones for Type 1 hinting. You should look at the reports from this tool in order to select the most common stem widths, and then use a program such as FontLab or RoboFont to set the values in the font. This should be done before hinting the font. Works with Type 1 and OpenType/CFF fonts only.
