Usage:
make_volt [-a file] [-l ligtype] [-i file] [-n] infile outfile
make_volt -t [-a file] [-l ligtype] [-i file] [-n] infile
Creates a copy of the infile font file adding a VOLT table to it.
Options:
-a file Attachment Point database .xml file
-b Set un-typed glyphs to type "BASE"
-c classfile xml file of class and property information to merge in
--classprops specifies whether classes are made for property values in
the classfile
--classwarn issue warnings if classfile contains references to glyphs
that are not in the font.
-e file A file containing names (1 per line) of glyphs that are
known to have no outline (thus shouldn't generate warning).
-f level Force value for adding OpenType lookups:
0 create lookups only if not already present [default]
1 re-create lookups even if same named exist
2 don't build any lookups
-h print manpage
-i fontfile Merge VOLT table from this font or text file
-l type How ligatures are built: type =
first - class name is first code, contents other codes
last - class name is last code, contents other codes
firstcomp - treat extensions as part of elements, as first
lastcomp - treat extensons as part of elements, as last
-m "list" List of anchors that do not imply a MARK glyph (e.g. "_R")
-n Add a normalization ligature lookups
-o "list" List of AP names to omit
-t output volt code to stdout and don't generate a font file
-z bitfield Bitfield of various controls:
0 - n/a
1 - normalise even if presentation is only references
2 - n/a
