CFFSUBR(1)

📦 version 0.4.0, in fedora 43, fedora 44

🌸 CFFSUBR — the manual page, bestie edition 💅

okay so real quick, this is cffsubr from section 1 of the manual (the User Commands girlies) and she is that girl. let's get into it. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

cffsubr — compress an OpenType Font's CFF or CFF2 table by computing subroutines 💖

like. she takes your font's CFF/CFF2 table and makes it smol by figuring out the subroutines for you. iconic behavior honestly.

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

cffsubr [-h] [-o OUTPUT_FILE | -i] [-f {1,2}] [-N] [-d] input_file

yes bestie that's the whole vibe in one line. -o and -i are in a situationship tho — you pick one, not both. no cap. 💀

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

💜 POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS 💜

  • input_file — your input font file, queen. it must contain either a CFF or a CFF2 table, or she's gonna be like "not this." 🦋

⭐ OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS ⭐

  • -h, --help — shows a help message and then exits. she's helpful and then she's gone. main character exit. ✨
  • -o OUTPUT_FILE, --output-file OUTPUT_FILE — optional path to your output file. if you don't say anything, she just dumps the binary data to stdout by default. shy but productive. 🙈
  • -i, --inplace — whether to overwrite the input file. yes. the actual input file. the one you gave her. (remember, she and -o are mutually exclusive, so pick your fighter 💅)
  • -f {1,2}, --cff-version {1,2} — the output CFF table format version. you're choosing between 1 and 2, that's it, that's the range. ⭐
  • -N, --no-glyph-names — whether to drop postscript glyph names when converting from CFF to CFF2. letting go of the names, very growth mindset of you. 🦋
  • -d, --desubroutinize — don't subroutinize, instead remove all subroutines (in any). so like, the opposite of the whole point of this tool. she contains multitudes. 😭🔥
heads up bestie: -o and -i are grouped as alternatives in the synopsis — [-o OUTPUT_FILE | -i] — so it's one or the other, never both. iykyk. 💖

and that's the whole page, fr fr. no SEE ALSO, no author block, she keeps it mysterious. 👑
