# font2swf(1)

Converts a font to SWF.

## NAME

font2swf - Converts a font to SWF.

## Synopsis

**font2swf \<fontfile\>**

## DESCRIPTION

Takes a font file (.ttf, .afm, .pfa, .pfb and all other types supported by FreeType) and converts it into a SWF file.

The SWF will contain the Font in SWF format (that is, a DefineFont2 Tag) as well as a textfield containing all the characters the font has. This means the resulting SWF will be viewable.

- **-v**, **--verbose**

      Be verbose. Use more than one -v for greater effect.

- **-o**, **--output** *filename*

      Write output to file *filename*. (If not given, the output will go\
       to a file called "output.swf")

- **-V**, **--version**

      Print version info and exit
