# ttf2svg(1)

font converter for SVG

## NAME

svgpp - font converter for SVG

## **ttf2svg**

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

## DESCRIPTION

Converts a true type font into a SVG font.  *\<ttf-path\>* is the path of the font file to convert.

## OPTIONS

- **-l** *range-begin* **-h** *range-end*

  specifies the range of characters (by codepoint, in decimal) to be converted,

- **-ascii**

  forces usage of the ASCII character map in the font, instead of the Unicode character map,

- **-id** *id*

  specifies the value for the id attribute of the generated font element,

- **-o** *output-path*

  specifies the pathname of the output SVG document containing the generated SVG font

- **-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, providing an easy way to validate that generated SVG font visually.
