Command-line options
-r <low>,<high>
- Range of characters to convert, specified as unicode code points. The
- default is 0,255, matching the ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1) character set.
+ Range of code points to convert, specified as unicode code points. The
+ default is 0,255, matching the ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1) character set. Code
+ points can be specified as plain numbers, unicode code points (U+xxxx) or
+ UTF-8 characters. This option can be specified multiple times to add
+ more ranges to be converted.
-s <pixels>
Font size to use. The default is 10 pixels.
-l <num>
- Number of characters to put in one line. Defaults to autodetect. Ignored
+ Number of glyphs to put in one line. Defaults to autodetect. Ignored
if -p is used.
- -c <pixels>
- Character cell size. The special values auto and autorect may be used to
- choose an autodetected square or rectangle cell, respectively. Defaults to
- autodetected square. Ignored if -p is used.
+ -c <pixels>[x<pixels>]
+ Character cell size. If only a single number is given, a square cell is
+ used. The special values auto and autorect may be used to choose an
+ autodetected square or rectangle cell, respectively. The default is auto.
+ Ignored if -p is used.
-o <filename>
Output file name. Use - for stdout; the output is a png image, so it's
-i
Invert colors of the glyphs. When rendering to alpha channel, only the
- alpha channel is inverted.
+ alpha channel is inverted. The default is to render black glyphs on a
+ white background.
-v
Increase the level of verbosity.
each glyph is determined by its code point. Ignored if -p is used.
-p
- Pack the glyphs tightly in the image. One-pixel gaps are left between
- glyphs. By default glyphs are rendered in a regular grid. Creating a
- definition file is recommended, as the resulting image can seem rather
- messy.
+ Pack the glyphs tightly in the image. Small gaps are left between glyphs,
+ controlled by the -n option. By default glyphs are rendered in a regular
+ grid. Creating a definition file is recommended, as the resulting image
+ can seem rather messy.
+
+ -m <pixels>
+ Leave a margin around the edges of the generated image. By default glyphs
+ can touch the edges. Only used with -p.
+
+ -n <pixels>
+ Control the amount of padding between glyphs. The default is 1 pixel.
+ Only used with -p.
+
+ -g
+ Allow the resulting image to have a non-power-of-two size. By default the
+ image size is rounded up to a power of two for maximum compatibility.
+
+ -f <num>
+ Generate a distance field texture. The argument controls the amount of
+ oversampling when calculating distances. Larger values may produce more
+ accurate results but take longer to process. Distance fields are always
+ stored without alpha and with large/positive values indicating the inside
+ of glyphs; the -t and -i options are ignored.
-d
File name to write glyph definitions. See the section below for details.
