+This tool is used to rename the PS name encoded inside the ttf font that we ship
+with the SDK. There is bug in Java that returns incorrect results for
+java.awt.Font#layoutGlyphVector() if two fonts with same name but differnt
+versions are loaded. As a workaround, we rename all the fonts that we ship with
+the SDK by appending the font version to its name.
+
+
+The build_font.py copies all files from input_dir to output_dir while renaming
+the font files (*.ttf) in the process.
