"Brutal" TTFPATCH - node.js porting v1.0 - (C) by Wolfram Esser wok@derwok.de 2001-02-23. This is only a "translation" in node.js of this useful project http://www.derwok.de/downloads/ttfpatch/ and related fork https://github.com/rmuch/ttfpatch
Getting Started
Install the module with:
npm install -g nodettfpatchHow to use
filePath- TTF font pathwantedFontType- values: - 0: embedding for permanent installation - 1: reserved - do not use! - 2: embedding restricted (not allowed!) - 4: embedding for preview & printing allowed - 8: embedding for editing allowed Hint: fsType values can be added. So a fsType value of '12' (which is 4 + 8) means set 'embedding for preview&printing allowed' and set 'embedding for editing allowed'.
Using from CLI
ttfpatch filePath wantedFontTypeUsing in script
var ttfpatch = require('nodettfpatch');
ttfpatch(); //for module help
ttfpatch(filePath); //for font file check filetype
ttfpatch(filePath,wantedFontType); //for modify font file typeTTFPatch Patches and Builds

Do you have the right to use a font, but due to technical error, the font has been built with the wrong permission flag?

This tool is here to help.
