> 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

```

  - `version` - font version string, can be `Version x.y` or `x.y`.
