Overview

Command-line interface for Fontisan.

This class provides the Thor-based CLI with commands for extracting font information and listing tables. It supports multiple output formats (text, YAML, JSON) and various options for controlling output behavior.

Examples:

Run the info command

Fontisan::Cli.start(['info', 'font.ttf'])

#convert(font_file) ⇒ Object

Convert a font to a different format using the universal transformation pipeline.

Supported conversions:

  • TTF ↔ OTF: Outline format conversion

  • WOFF/WOFF2: Web font packaging

  • Variable fonts: Automatic variation preservation or instance generation

  • Collections (TTC/OTC/dfont): Preserve mixed TTF+OTF by default, or standardize with –target-format

Collection Format Support: TTC, OTC, and dfont all support mixed TrueType and OpenType fonts. By default, original font formats are preserved during collection conversion (–target-format preserve). Use –target-format ttf to convert all fonts to TrueType, or –target-format otf to convert all to OpenType/CFF.

Variable Font Operations: The pipeline automatically detects whether variation data can be preserved based on source and target formats. For same outline family (TTF→WOFF or OTF→WOFF2), variation is preserved automatically. For cross-family conversions (TTF↔OTF), an instance is generated unless –preserve-variation is explicitly set.

Instance Generation: Use –coordinates to specify exact axis values (e.g., wght=700,wdth=100) or –instance-index to use a named instance. Individual axis options (–wght, –wdth) are also supported for convenience.

Examples:

Convert TTF to OTF

fontisan convert font.ttf --to otf --output font.otf

Convert TTC to OTC (preserves mixed formats by default)

fontisan convert family.ttc --to otc --output family.otc

Convert TTC to OTC with all fonts as TrueType

fontisan convert family.ttc --to otc --output family.otc --target-format ttf

Convert TTC to OTC with all fonts as OpenType/CFF

fontisan convert family.ttc --to otc --output family.otc --target-format otf

Generate bold instance at specific coordinates

fontisan convert variable.ttf --to ttf --output bold.ttf --coordinates "wght=700,wdth=100"

Generate bold instance using individual axis options

fontisan convert variable.ttf --to ttf --output bold.ttf --wght 700

Use named instance

fontisan convert variable.ttf --to woff2 --output bold.woff2 --instance-index 0

Force variation preservation (if compatible)

fontisan convert variable.ttf --to woff2 --output variable.woff2 --preserve-variation

Convert without validation

fontisan convert font.ttf --to otf --output font.otf --no-validate

Parameters:

  • font_file (String) —

    Path to the font file
