You don't want to do a whence on the dirname, but on the basename. Basename is the name of the program that is running, less the path of however it was called. Whence will return the path to the basename.

--other-index, -m IDX
Font index for OTHER-FONT specified using --other-font-file option.
--postscript-output, -s

--svg, -g
Use SVG format for output. The generated document contains one page. Use range selection options to specify which.
--print-outline, -l
Print document outlines data to standard output. This data can be used to add outlines (aka bookmarks) to resulting PDF file with
pdfoutline program.
--include-range, -i RANGE

Parameter RANGE for -i and -x can be given as one integer or a pair of integers delimited by minus sign (-). Integers can be specified in
decimal, hexadecimal (0x...) or octal (0...) format. One integer of a pair can be missing (-N can be used to specify all characters with
codes less or equal to N, and N- for all characters with codes greather or equal to N). Multiple -i and -x options can be used.
EXAMPLES
Make PDF samples for font.ttf and write them to file samples.pdf:
fntsample -f font.ttf -o samples.pdf
Make PDF samples for font.ttf, compare it with oldfont.ttf and highlight new glyphs. Write output to file samples.pdf:
fntsample -f font.ttf -d oldfont.ttf -o samples.pdf
Make PostScript samples for font.ttf and write output to file samples.ps. Show only glyphs for characters with codes less or equal to
U+04FF but exclude U+0370-U+03FF:
fntsample -f font.ttf -s -o samples.ps -i -0x04FF -x 0x0370-0x03FF
