FONTTOSFNT(1)                                                                                  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 (TrueType 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, 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.

BUGS
       Some of the font-level values, notably sub- and superscript positions, are dummy values.
