fonttosfnt - Wrap a bitmap font in a sfnt (TrueType) wrapper 
fonttosfnt
[ options ] -o file.ttf [ -- ] font... 
Wrap a bitmap font or a set
of bitmap fonts in a sfnt (TrueType or OpenType) wrapper. 
- -v 
- Be verbose.
- -c 
- Do not crop glyphs.  This usually increases file size, but may sometimes
yield a modest decrease in file size for small character cell fonts (terminal
fonts). 
- -b 
- Write byte-aligned glyph data.  By default, bit-aligned data is written,
which yields a smaller file size. 
- -r 
- Do not reencode fonts.  By default, fonts
are reencoded to Unicode whenever possible. 
- -g n 
- Set the type of scalable
glyphs that we write.  If n is 0, no scalable glyphs are written; this is
legal but confuses most current software.  If n is 1, a single scalable
glyph (the undefined glyph) is written; this is recommended, but triggers
a bug in current versions of FreeType. If n is 2 (the default), a sufficiently
high number of blank glyphs are written, which works with FreeType but
increases file size. 
- -m n 
- Set the type of scalable metrics that we write.
 If n is 0, no scalable metrics are written, which may or may not be legal.
If n is 1, full metrics for a single glyph are written, and only left sidebearing
values are written for the other glyphs.  If n is 2, scalable metrics for
all glyphs are written, which increases file size and is not recommended.
 The default is 1. 
- -- 
- End of options. 
Some of the font-level values, notably
sub- and superscript positions, are dummy values.
