NAME
ttfeval - wrapper for short Font::TTF hacks
SYNOPSIS
ttfeval [options] [progfile] infont.ttf ...
OPTIONS
-mmodule
-Mmodule
-M'module ...'
-[mM]module=arg[,arg]...
-e commandline
work essentially like the same options for Perl. If no -e options
are provided, the progfile argument specifies the name of a file
containing code to be executed. See perlrun.
-o outfont
Indicates that you want an output font written, and names the font
file. May take globs or be a directory.
-? Verbose help.
DESCRIPTION
ttfeval is a wrapper for those one- or two-line font hacks. It does the
work of including the Font::TTF module, opening the input font file, and
optionally writing the output font file. You just supply the code in the
middle. For example, to list out all the glyph names of a font, use:
ttfeval -e 'print join("\n",@{$f->{'post'}->read->{'VAL'}});' myfont.ttf
Like the perl command line, you can specify multiple -e options to build
up a multiline program, and you can include additional modules via the
-m and -M options.
When the caller-supplied expression is executed, $f holds the result of
the Font::TTF::Font->open() function and elements of @ARGV up to and
including the input font name have been deleted -- you can use any
remaining arguments for your own purposes. @_ holds the names of the
names of the input and optional output font files -- changing $_[0] has
no effect, but setting or clearing $_[1] will change the output.
Globbing of file names is permitted:
ttfeval -e 'print $f->{'name'}->read->find_name(4) . "\n"' *.ttf
including the output name:
ttfeval ... -o x*.ttf *.ttf
