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

# [DESCRIPTION](#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.
