FONTTOSFNT(1) UNIX Programmer's Manual FONTTOSFNT(1)
NAME
fonttosfnt - Wrap a bitmap font in a sfnt (TrueType) wrapper
SYNOPSIS
fonttosfnt [ options ] -o file.ttf [ -- ] font...
DESCRIPTION
Wrap a bitmap font or a set of bitmap fonts in a sfnt (True-
Type or OpenType) wrapper.
OPTIONS
-v Be verbose.
-c Do not crop glyphs. This usually increases file size,
but may sometimes yield a modest decrease in file size
for small character cell fonts (terminal fonts).
-b Write byte-aligned glyph data. By default, bit-aligned
data is written, which yields a smaller file size.
-r Do not reencode fonts. By default, fonts are reencoded
to Unicode whenever possible.
-g n Set the type of scalable glyphs that we write. If n is
0, no scalable glyphs are written; this is legal but
confuses most current software. If n is 1, a single
scalable glyph (the undefined glyph) is written; this
is recommended, but triggers a bug in current versions
of FreeType. If n is 2 (the default), a sufficiently
high number of blank glyphs are written, which works
with FreeType but increases file size.
-m n Set the type of scalable metrics that we write. If n
is 0, no scalable metrics are written, which may or may
not be legal. If n is 1, full metrics for a single
glyph are written, and only left sidebearing values are
written for the other glyphs. If n is 2, scalable
metrics for all glyphs are written, which increases
file size and is not recommended. The default is 1.
-- End of options.
BUGS
Some of the font-level values, notably sub- and superscript
positions, are dummy values.
