NAME
xgridfit - a program for gridfitting, or "hinting," TrueType fonts
SYNOPSIS
xgridfit file.{xgf or xml}
DESCRIPTION
Xgridfit is a simple program that implements an XML-based language for
gridfitting, or "hinting," TrueType fonts. Xgridfit is implemented as
an XSLT script that compiles an XML source file into tables and
instructions that relate to the gridfitting of glyphs. Xgridfit does
not insert these elements into a font itself, but rather relies on
other programs to do this.
- xgridfit is a command that generates a script for FontForge, the Open
Source font editor. It will produce a script named file.pe. Then, you
may simply run your script in FontForge :
- $ fontforge -script file.pe
