# [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION)

volt2ttf is like loading a font into VOLT and hitting compile and saving the result. Note that it does not compile a new cmap, though. Just the OT tables are built.

If -x is supplied, feature and lookup aliases are written in TypeTuner xml format to the file. If -f is also supplied, the aliases are first merged with the features source file: any existing <aliases> element (including the empty element, <aliases/> is replaced with the new alias definitions.
