NAME
       ttfautohint - add new auto-generated hints to a TrueType font

SYNOPSIS
       ttfautohint [OPTION]... IN-FILE OUT-FILE

DESCRIPTION
       Replace hints in TrueType font IN-FILE and write output to OUT-FILE.  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
       -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

       -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

       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 GUI version of this program is called `ttfautohintGUI'.
