TTF2SVG(1)

💖 TTF2SVG — ok bestie, we're converting fonts today 💖

This one lives in the User Commands section of the manual, and its whole name is TTF2SVG(1) — but the program itself answers to svgpp, and the command you actually type is ttf2svg. Cute, right? Little identity crisis, but we move. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

svgpp — font converter for SVG 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ttf2svg
       <ttf-path> [-l <range-begin>] [-h <range-end>] [-autorange] [-ascii]
       [-id <id>] [-o <output-path>] [-testcard]

Yeah, it's giving "why is the synopsis a whole paragraph," but that's just how it is. Here's the vibe: you hand it a font path, and then optionally sprinkle on flags. 💅

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

So the whole point of this icon is that it takes a true type font and turns it into a SVG font. Glow-up of the century honestly.

<ttf-path> is the path of the font file you want to convert. That's it. That's the main character.

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -l range-begin -h range-end — these two are a duo, bestie. They specify the range of characters to be converted, and it's given by codepoint, in decimal. So like, numbers. Plain decimal numbers. Not hex, not vibes. 🔢
• -ascii — forces usage of the ASCII character map in the font, instead of the Unicode character map. Old school. Retro. Respect. 🌈
• -id id — specifies the value for the id attribute of the generated font element. Name your baby. ✨
• -o output-path — specifies the pathname of the output SVG document containing the generated SVG font. If you don't say where it goes, that's between you and the filesystem. 🫶
• -testcard — specifies that a sequence of SVG text elements should be appended to the output SVG file, to test the characters in the SVG font. It's literally providing an easy way to validate that the generated SVG font looks right visually. It's a vibe check for your glyphs. 🔥

Also lowkey important: the synopsis mentions -autorange, and I'm telling you it's there because the synopsis says so. That's all I got. Don't @ me, the manual doesn't elaborate either. 💀

☕ JAVA-WRAPPERS NOTE ☕

This program is a shell script wrapper based on java-wrappers(7). So you, lucky you, benefit from several features. Want the details? Go read the java-wrappers(7) manual page for more information about them. Go on. It's right there in SEE ALSO. 🙈

And that's the whole page, bestie. It's the Font converter for SVG page, dated January 2008, from TTF2SVG(1) — that's the version-and-source energy up top and down bottom, and now you know everything this manual knows. No cap. 💖✨🎀🦋🌸💅🫶
