# ttf2eps(1)

extract ttf file glyphs into an eps file.

## NAME

ttf2eps - extract ttf file glyphs into an eps file.

## SYNOPSIS

**ttf2eps** \[**--all**\] {**--name** ps-name \| **--unicode** hex \| **--unicode** hex \| **--glyph** num} *ttf-fontfile*

## DESCRIPTION

**ttf2eps** reads the specified true-type file and extracts the indicated glyphs into an eps file. Each file is named for the character extracted (according to the 'post' table). Multiple glyphs may be extracted at a time, either by specifying the character's name, it's unicode encoding, or it's true type glyph number. All the glyphs may be extracted by using \[**--all**\].

Files are created in the current directory.

Some meta-information is provided in comments inside each .eps file, for example the character's width, the font's ascent, descent and number of units per em.
