## NAME
       fonttosfnt - Wrap a bitmap font in a sfnt (TrueType) wrapper

## SYNOPSIS
       **fonttosfnt **[ _options_ ] **-o _**file.ttf_ [ **-- **] _font_...

## DESCRIPTION
       Wrap a bitmap font or a set of bitmap fonts in a sfnt (TrueType or OpenType) wrapper.

## OPTIONS
### -v     

### -c     
              est decrease in file size for small character cell fonts (terminal fonts).

### -b     
              smaller file size.

### -r     

### -g _
              written; this is legal but confuses most current software.  If _n_ is 1, a single  scal‐
              able  glyph  (the undefined glyph) is written; this is recommended, but triggers a bug
              in current versions of **FreeType**.  If _n_ is 2 (the default), a sufficiently high  number
              of blank glyphs are written, which works with **FreeType **but increases file size.

### -m _
              written, which may or may not be legal.  If _n_ is 1, full metrics for  a  single  glyph
              are  written, and only left sidebearing values are written for the other glyphs.  If _n_
              is 2, scalable metrics for all glyphs are written, which increases file  size  and  is
              not recommended.  The default is 1.

       **--     **End of options.

## BUGS
       Some of the font-level values, notably sub- and superscript positions, are dummy values.
