NAME

       getinstrs - extracts TrueType instructions for one or more glyphs from a font.

SYNOPSIS

       getinstrs [options] fontfile glyphs...

DESCRIPTION

       getinstrs  calls the FontForge Python extension to extract instructions from a TrueType font (either .ttf or .sfd) and print them to stdout
       (redirect to capture them in a file). By default the instructions are printed as an Xgridfit glyph program. Use the -r, --raw  command-line
       option  to print them as "raw" instructions instead, or use -x, --xgridfit to enclose the glyph program(s) in an <xgridfit> element, making
       a complete, valid Xgridfit program.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
	      Display a help message and exit.

       -r, --raw
	      Print "raw" instructions instead of Xgridfit glyph programs.

       -x, --xgridfit
	      Print XML declaration and <xgridfit> element, making a complete, valid Xgridfit program.
