> Converts SVG fonts to TTF format. It was initially written for
[Fontello](http://fontello.com), but you can find it useful for your projects.

__For developpers:__

Internal API is similar to FontForge's one. Since primary goal
is generating iconic fonts, sources can lack some specific TTF/OTF features,
like kerning and so on. Anyway, current code is a good base for development,
because it will save you tons of hours to implement correct writing & optimizing
TTF tables.


Using from CLI
----------------

Install:

``` bash
npm install -g svg2ttf
```

Usage example:

``` bash
svg2ttf fontello.svg fontello.ttf
```
