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 auto-hinter.

       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 following 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

       -a, --stem-width-mode=S
              select stem width mode for grayscale, GDI ClearType, and DW ClearType, where  S  is  a  string  of
              three  letters  with  possible  values  `n'  for  natural,  `q'  for quantized, and `s' for strong
              (default: qsq)

       -c, --composites
              hint glyph composites also

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

       -p, --adjust-subglyphs
              handle subglyph adjustments in exotic fonts

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

       -s, --symbol
              input is symbol font

       -S, --fallback-scaling
              use fallback scaling, not hinting

       -t, --ttfa-table
              add TTFA information table

       -v, --verbose
              show progress information

       -W, --windows-compatibility
              add blue zones for `usWinAscent' and `usWinDescent' to avoid clipping

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

       -X, --x-height-snapping-exceptions=STRING
              specify  a  comma-separated  list  of  x-height  snapping  exceptions, for example "-9, 13-17, 19"
              (default: "")

   Qt Options:

              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.  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  script-specific
       characters resembling the shape of character `o'.

       A hint set contains the optimal hinting for a certain PPEM value; the larger the hint set range (as given
       by options -l and -r), the more hint sets get computed, usually increasing the  output  font  size.   The
       `gasp'  table  of  the  output file always enables grayscale hinting for all sizes (limited by option -G,
       which is handled in the bytecode).  Increasing the value of -G does not increase the output font size.

       Options -f and -D take a four-letter string that identifies a script.  Option -f sets the script used  as
       a  fallback for glyphs that can't be associated with a known script.  By default, such glyphs are hinted;
       if option -S is set, they are scaled only instead.  Option  -D  sets  the  default  script  for  handling
       OpenType features.

       Possible four-letter string values are

              adlm  (Adlam),  arab (Arabic), armn (Armenian), avst (Avestan), bamu (Bamum), beng (Bengali), buhd
              (Buhid), cakm (Chakma), cans (Canadian Syllabics), cari (Carian), cher (Cherokee), copt  (Coptic),
