fonttosfnt - Wrap a bitmap font in a sfnt (TrueType) wrapper
fonttosfnt
[ options ] -o file.ttf [ -- ] font...
Wrap a bitmap font or a set
of bitmap fonts in a sfnt (TrueType or OpenType) wrapper.
- -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, unaligned 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.
Some of the font-level values, notably
sub- and superscript positions, are dummy values.
