API

Naming conventions

Methods and attributes that start with fake are additions not present in the original FontLab Studio 5 Python API. They are used here for additional functionality.

In most cases, those methods have been added to the main object in FL.objects, but if more additions are necessary, they may have been moved to a base class in FL.fake.
