Parse [CMap](http://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/cmap.htm) of a TrueType/OpenType font file [buffer][buffer]

```javascript

var fs = require('fs');

var fontCmap = require('font-cmap');

var buf = fs.readFileSync('bower_components/font-awesome/fonts/FontAwesome.otf');

fontCmap(buf); //=> {"32": 1, "168": 6, "169": 12, "174": 10, ... }

```

## Installation

[Use npm](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/install).

```sh

npm install font-cmap

```

## API

```javascript

var fontCmap = require('font-cmap');

```

### fontCmap(*buffer*)

*buffer*: `Object` ([`Buffer`][buffer] of a TrueType/OpenType font file)  

Return: `Object`

It returns an object of a CMap table in the form:

```javascript

{

  "Unicode value (integer)": "Glyph ID (integer)"

}

```

[Here](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/shinnn/node-font-cmap/master/test/fixture.json) is a real-life example, the result of parsing [Font Awesome](https://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/) CMap table.

## CLI

You can use this module as a CLI tool by installing it [globally](https://docs.npmjs.com/files/folders#global-installation).

```sh

npm install -g font-cmap

```

### Usage

```

Usage1: font-cmap 

Usage2: cat  | font-cmap

Options:

--min,     -m    Minify output

--help,    -h    Print usage information

--version, -v    Print version

```

It prints a CMap table as a [JSON](http://www.json.org/) string.
