# ttfs

*WIP*.  For now it's a pretty dumb TTF/OTF/BDF→Plan9Font converter
that runs on Unix-like operating systems.  It also requires `fc-query`
executable to be available, sorry...  also SDL and SDL_ttf :'(

It took a few hours to implement, as an exercise.

Selling point: "replacement character" is a vectorized
[PJW](https://spinroot.com/pico/pjw.html) by default.

## Usage

	# on Linuks
	ttfs -s 32 ~/.fonts/Symbola.ttf symbola/symbola.32

	# fonts can be combined too
	ttfs -s 16 unifont.otf  unifont_csur.otf  unifont_jp.otf  unifont_upper.otf unifont/unifont.16

	# can do nearest-neighbour scaling (x2 in this example)
	ttfs -s 10 -x 2 blah.otb blah/blah.20

	# on Plan 9
	mkdir /lib/font/bit/symbola
	cp /n/mylinuks/pr0n/symbola/* /lib/font/bit/symbola/
	# compress the fonts
	for(f in /lib/font/bit/symbola/*.*-*){
		{iconv; cat} <$f >$f.cmp && mv $f.cmp $f
	}
	font=/lib/font/bit/symbola/symbola.32.font
	rio

## TODO

* make it a 9p filesystem like `truetypefs(4)`.
* save fonts compressed
* documentation
