Batch is a RoboFont extension to generate binary fonts in batch.
- supports UFO, OpenType (TTF/CFF) and designSpace files as input
- generates .otf .ttf .pfa .woff2 & variable fonts

The following types of input files are supported:

Batch will try to optimize the designspace data by performing the following actions:
- Add off-curve points where needed to make contours compatible.
- Add axes to the design space if they are missing.
- Add missing glyphs by generating them from the design space.
- Add kerning pairs to make kerning compatible.
