SYNOPSIS

10       getinstrs [options] fontfile glyphs...
11

DESCRIPTION

13       getinstrs calls the FontForge Python extension to extract  instructions
14       from  a  TrueType  font  (either .ttf or .sfd) and print them to stdout
15       (redirect to capture them in a file). By default the  instructions  are
16       printed  as  an  Xgridfit glyph program. Use the -r, --raw command-line
17       option to print them as "raw" instructions instead, or use -x, --xgrid‐
18       fit  to enclose the glyph program(s) in an <xgridfit> element, making a
19       complete, valid Xgridfit program.
20

OPTIONS

23              Display a help message and exit.
24
25       -r, --raw
26              Print "raw" instructions instead of Xgridfit glyph programs.
27
28       -x, --xgridfit
29              Print XML declaration and <xgridfit> element, making a complete,
30              valid Xgridfit program.
