This usually increases file size, but may sometimes yield a modest decrease in file size for small character cell fonts (terminal fonts). .TP .B \-b Write byte-aligned glyph data. By default, bit-aligned data is written, which yields a smaller file size. .TP .B \-r Do not reencode fonts. By default, fonts are reencoded to Unicode whenever possible. .TP .BI \-g " n" Set the type of scalable glyphs that we write. If .I n is 0, no scalable glyphs are written; this is legal but confuses most current software. If .I n is 1, a single scalable glyph (the undefined glyph) is written; this is recommended, but triggers a bug in current versions of .BR FreeType . If .I n is 2 (the default), a sufficiently high number of blank glyphs are written, which works with .B FreeType but increases file size. .TP .BI \-m " n" Set the type of scalable metrics that we write. If .I n is 0, no scalable metrics are written, which may or may not be legal. If .I n is 1, full metrics for a single glyph are written, and only left sidebearing values are written for the other glyphs. If .I n is 2, scalable metrics for all glyphs are written, which increases file size and is not recommended. The default is 1. .TP .B \-\- End of options. .SH BUGS Some of the font-level values, notably sub- and superscript positions, are dummy values. .SH SEE ALSO X(7), Xserver(1), Xft(3x). .I Fonts in XFree86. .SH AUTHOR .B Fonttosfnt was written by Juliusz Chroboczek <jch@xfree86.org> for the XFree86 project.
