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.
