fret - Font REporting Tool
fret [-p package] [-a ap.xml] [-f] [-g] [-i re] [-r] [-s size] [-q] font_file [out_file] [bounding_file]
Generates a report on a font according to a particular package. In some contexts the package may be over-ridden. Paper size may also be specified.
If no out_file is given then out_file becomes font_file.pdf (removing .ttf if present)
-a ap.xml Attachment point database file -b Draw bounding octogon. Outputs bounding file if specified. -f Don't try to save memory on large fonts (>1000 glyphs) -g Add one glyph per page report following summary report -h Mode for glyph per page output. Bitfield: 1 = bit 0 don't output curve point positions 2 = bit 0 don't output attachment point positions -i re Regular expression that identifies what attachment points to include in the report -m points Sets glyph size in the box regardless of what is calculated Regardless of the consequences for clashes -o sort Define sort order. Can be combinations of u (Unicode), p (postname), or i (glyph index). When supplied, priority is u, then p, then i. Default upi. -p package Perl package specification to use for report information (must be first option) -q quiet mode -r Don't output report lines, fill the page with glyph boxes -s size paper size: a4, ltr, legal -? longer help
FRET creates a PDF report from a TrueType font containing information about every glyph in the font. It sorts the glyphs by Unicode identifier and then for those glyphs with no Unicode identifier it sorts them by glyph name and then by glyph number.
In addition it is possible to get a report including a page per glyph with a large outline of each glyph perhaps with the drawn points.
If the optional ap.xml file is specified on the command line then attachment point information is included in the report. See ttfbuilder for details of the ap.xml file format. Only attachment points that match the regular expression supplied via the -i option will be included.
If supplied, -p must be the first option.
