NAME

volt2ttf - compiles volt code into OT tables in a font

SYNOPSIS

  volt2ttf [-a attach.xml] [-t volt.txt] infile.ttf outfile.ttf

Compiles volt source into OT tables in the font.

OPTIONS

  -a file     Attachment point database [only needed for anchor attachment]
  -i          Include all lookups even those not referenced by a used feature
  -r          Do not delete Volt source table in the font
  -t file     Volt source as text file to use instead of what is in the font
  -h          Help
  -x file     Generate TypeTuner xml file including aliases
  -f file     TypeTuner features xml source file

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.
