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.
The version of Fonttosfnt included in this X.Org Foundation
