✨ TTX2XGF ✨

okay bestie, gather round, because this is the ttx2xgf manual page from the General Commands Manual and she is LOWKEY iconic 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

ttx2xgf — she extracts instructions from a TTX file and creates an Xgridfit program. that's it, that's the job, and she does it flawlessly fr fr 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ttx2xgf [options] infile[.ttx] [outfile]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, ttx2xgf is a utility that pulls instructions (aka hints, bestie, the hints) and other info relating to those instructions out of a TTX file — which is an XML representation of a TrueType font, iykyk — and then creates a brand new Xgridfit program out of all of it. main character energy tbh 👑

if infile is missing the .ttx extension? don't even stress, it's assumed anyway. and if you don't hand over an outfile? the output just gets written to infile.xgf instead. slay ✨

💖 OPTIONS 💖

  • --config — path to a configuration file, and yes relative paths are permitted, live your truth. if you don't pass this one, ttx2xgf goes on a lil scavenger hunt: first she looks for a file called config.xml in the current directory, then in the user's Xgridfit configuration directory, and finally in the Xgridfit base directory 🧚
  • -e — displays diagnostic messages, which is the debugging vibe check 🐛
  • -E, --elapsed-time — times how long this program runs and shows you the result. she's timing herself, and honestly? valid ⏱️
  • --processor=libxslt|lxml|xsltproc|saxon-6|saxon-9|xalan-j|xalan-c|4xslt — picks a preferred XSLT processsor (yes, with three s's, that's how it's spelled here, no cap), and ttx2xgf will use that one if possible 💫

🌈 FILES 🌈

  • /usr/share/xml/xgridfit/util/convert-ttx.xsl — an XSLT script that does the initial conversion. the opening act 🎬
  • /usr/share/xml/xgridfit/util/convert-asm.sed — a Sed script that completes the conversion. the grand finale 🌟
