NAME

       ttfautohintGUI - add new auto-generated hints to a TrueType font

SYNOPSIS

       ttfautohintGUI [OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION

       A GUI application to replace hints in a TrueType font.  The new hints are based on FreeType's autohinter.

       This program is a simple front-end to the `ttfautohint' library.

       Long options can be given with one or two dashes, and with and without equal sign between option and argument.  This means that the follow-
       ing forms are acceptable: `-foo=bar', `--foo=bar', `-foo bar', `--foo bar'.

       Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.  Options not related to Qt or X11 set default values.

OPTIONS

       -f, --latin-fallback
	      set fallback script to latin

       -G, --hinting-limit=N
	      switch off hinting above this PPEM value (default: 200); value 0 means no limit

       -h, --help
	      display this help and exit

       --help-all
	      show Qt and X11 specific options also

       -i, --ignore-restrictions
	      override font license restrictions

       -l, --hinting-range-min=N
	      the minimum PPEM value for hint sets (default: 8)

       -n  --no-info
	      don't add ttfautohint info to the version string(s) in the `name' table

       -p, --pre-hinting
	      apply original hints in advance

       -r, --hinting-range-max=N
	      the maximum PPEM value for hint sets (default: 50)

       -s, --symbol
	      input is symbol font

       -v, --verbose
	      show progress information

       -V, --version
	      print version information and exit

       -x, --increase-x-height=N
	      increase x height for sizes in the range 6<=PPEM<=N; value 0 switches off this feature (default: 14)

       -X, --x-height-snapping-exceptions=STRING
	      specify a comma-separated list of x-height snapping exceptions

   Qt Options:
       --graphicssystem=SYSTEM
	      select a different graphics system backend instead of the default one (possible values: `raster', `opengl')

       --reverse
	      set layout direction to right-to-left

       --session=ID
	      restore the application for the given ID

       --style=STYLE
	      set application GUI style (possible values: motif, windows, platinum)

       --stylesheet=SHEET
	      apply the given Qt stylesheet to the application widgets

   X11 options:
       --background=COLOR
	      set the default background color and an application palette (light and dark shades are calculated)

       --bg=COLOR
	      same as --background

       --btn=COLOR
	      set the default button color

       --button=COLOR
	      same as --btn

       --cmap use a private color map on an 8-bit display

       --display=NAME
	      use the given X-server display

       --fg=COLOR
	      set the default foreground color

       --fn=FONTNAME
	      set the application font

       --font=FONTNAME
	      same as --fn

       --foreground=COLOR
	      same as --fg

       --geometry=GEOMETRY
	      set the client geometry of first window

       --im=SERVER
	      set the X Input Method (XIM) server

       --inputstyle=STYLE
	      set X Input Method input style (possible values: onthespot, overthespot, offthespot, root)

       --name=NAME
	      set the application name

       --ncols=COUNT
	      limit the number of colors allocated in the color cube on an 8-bit display, if the application is using the  QApplication::ManyColor
	      color specification

       --title=TITLE
	      set the application title (caption)

       --visual=VISUAL
	      force the application to use the given visual on an 8-bit display (only possible value: TrueColor)

       The  program  accepts both TTF and TTC files as input.  Use option -i only if you have a legal permission to modify the font.  If option -f
       is not set, glyphs not in the latin range stay unhinted.  The used PPEM value for option -p is FUnits per em, normally 2048.   With  option
       -s, use default values for standard stem width and height, otherwise they are derived from latin character `o'.

       A  hint	set contains the optimal hinting for a certain PPEM value; the larger the hint set range, the more hint sets get computed, usually
       increasing the output font size.  Note, however, that the `gasp' table of the output file enables grayscale hinting for all sizes  (limited
       by option -G which is handled in the bytecode).

       A command-line version of this program is called `ttfautohint'.
