When I say module, I also really think it should be a stand alone github repository. Everything that needs to read these nam files basically needs code from there. We already have some copy and paste job somewhere in pyfontaine and there’s also graphicore/googleFontsTools which is a mess to keep in sync, but used for specimentTools and much less in size than the google/fonts repository.

These things happen because we don’t want to download thousands of fonts, just to read some nam files.

The new repository could be a git submodule of google/fonts.

I’ll close this here, since it is now tracked at the googlefonts/tools issue tracker.
