-The process creates a JSON configuration file and a CSV file that will be used to fix the fonts. Both files can be
-automatically created and eventually edited manually or using the integrated command line editor. Once everything is
-correctly set in the CSV file, the values inside it can be written to the fonts.
+With the aide of a JSON configuration file, that can be edited according to user's needs, this tool will help create a
+CSV file containing, for each file in a set of fonts, the following values:

+\b
+- is_bold
+- is_italic
+- is_oblique
+- usWidthClass
+- usWeightClass
+- width (short and long literals, e.g.: 'Cn', 'Condensed')
+- weight (short and long literals, e.g.: 'Lt', 'Light')
+- slope (short and long literals, e.g.: 'It', 'Italic')
+- family name
+
+The values can be recalculated with the help of the automation provided by the tool (using the 'init-csv' and
+'recalc-csv' commands) or manually edited using a suitable editor.
+
+When the CSV file is correctly compiled, values contained in it can be written into the fonts using the 'recalc-names'
+command. This command will not only correctly compile the name table, but will also change usWidthClass and
+usWeightClass values, as well as the italic and oblique bits. The bold bits are another matter: they will be set only in
+the bold styles of a family with linked styles and only if the user opts for using linked styles. In all other cases,
+the bold bits will be cleared.
