ftxdumperfuser ftxdumperfuser, version 1.2d1e8, FTXVersion 1.1.12 Usage:

ftxdumperfuser 

[-t cmap|feat|hdmx|head|hhea|hmtx|loca|maxp|name|OS/2|post|prop| 
        vhea|vmtx|Zapf|glyf|just|morx] 

[-cFgGhIklLnNpuUxvV] 

[-A d|f|k] 

[-B size] 

[-f font] 

[-d datafile] 

[-i ID delta] 

[-o outputfile] 

fontfile 

General Options: -h Output this message -v Verbose operation, additional data is output to stderr -V Output the tool's version to stdout -o An optional output file for the results of a dump;

  stdout is used if this parameter is not specified and -A d is not used 

Auto options on every face: -A Do an auto-dump, auto-fuse, or auto-kill on ALL faces in the file. You select between three options by using the parameter following the -A; i.e.

'-A d' means do an auto-dump, 
'-A f' means do an auto-fuse, and 
'-A k' means do an auto-kill. 

With these operations, the file name is automatically generated using the full name of the font followed by the table. Thus for example:

ftxdumperfuser -A d -t cmap Foo.ttf 

would create a dump file, 'Foo.cmap.xml', and put the results of the dump in that file.

Font selection options: -f The full name of the font within the font file on which to act -I Interpret the "fontfile" argument(s) as decimal fontIDs of installed fonts -N Interpret the "fontfile" argument(s) as names of installed fonts

General table options: -l List the tables from the font;

  the -t option is required if and only if the -l option is not used 

-t (required if -l is not used)

  The four character tag for the table to dump or fuse 
  Single quotes around the tag are optional, except for tags with fewer 
  than four non-space characters (e.g., 'cvt ') 

-k Remove (i.e. 'kill') the table from the font Dump options: -n Include name table entries in the dump -p Include PostScript glyph names in the dump -u Include Unicode character names in the dump -U Use UTF-16 for output, not UTF-8 -x Output bad 'name' table entries as hex -g Force the use of the generic (hex) table dumper/fuser

  instead of the table-specific one 

Fuse (Compile) options: -d The datafile to use for a fuse operation

  NOTE: The tool allows dumps from multiple font files to a single text 
  file, but it does *not* allow fuses from a single text file to 
  multiple font files. The text input data file for a fuse operation 
  *must* consist of the XML source for a single table. 

-G Give glyph names precedence over glyph IDs in fuse operations -F Do a fuse operation using stdin as the data source -L Force the 'loca' table to be long-aligned when fusing in glyph data -c Use a compact format for data (e.g., with bitmaps or the 'glyf' table) Bitmap generation options: -B Auto-generate a set of bitmaps of the given size for the font -P Use the given pixel depth (must be 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, or 32)

  when generating bitmaps; used with the -B option 

-s Use the given scaling factor (must be 1, 2, or 4)

  when generating bitmaps; used with the -B option 

-i A delta to add to glyph ID's when dumping bitmaps

Dump the name table of the font file to XML and then parse with xmlstarlet and XAPTH:

ftxdumperfuser -t name lte51250.ttf | xml sel -T -t -m "//nameTableEntry[@nameTypeName='Family' or @nameTypeName='Style' or @nameTypeName='Unique' or @nameTypeName='Full' or @nameTypeName='Version' or @nameTypeName='PostScript'] /localizedName" -s D:T:- "@platformName" -v "concat(../@nameTypeName,':')" -n -v "concat(@platformName,' -> ',.)" -n
