TTX2XGF(1)						      General Commands Manual							TTX2XGF(1)

NAME
ttx2xgf - extracts instructions from a TTX file and creates an Xgridfit program. SYNOPSIS
ttx2xgf [options] infile[.ttx] [outfile] DESCRIPTION
ttx2xgf is a utility that extracts instructions (hints) and other information relating to instructions from a TTX file (an XML representa- tion of a TrueType font) and creates a new Xgridfit program. If infile lacks the .ttx extension, it is assumed. If outfile is not given, output is written to infile.xgf. OPTIONS
--config Path to a configuration file (relative paths are permitted). If this is not given, ttx2xgf will look first for a file config.xml in the current directory, next in the user's Xgridfit configuration directory, and finally in the Xgridfit base directory. -e Display diagnostic messages (for debugging). -E, --elapsed-time Time the running of this program and display the result. --processor=libxslt|lxml|xsltproc|saxon-6|saxon-9|xalan-j|xalan-c|4xslt Select a preferred XSLT processsor; ttx2xgf will use this one if possible. FILES
/usr/share/xml/xgridfit/util/convert-ttx.xsl An XSLT script that performs the initial conversion. /usr/share/xml/xgridfit/util/convert-asm.sed A Sed script that completes the conversion. SEE ALSO
