README

        
The aim of this repo is to create a small JavaScript thing that

can turn outline data for "a letter" into a tiny OpenType font

using CFF for the glyph model (because CFF does Type2 charstrings,

which model curves with cubic beziers, unlike TFF, which can only

do quadratic beziers. Which are properly nonsense for design work).

The idea is to supply the builder function with a structure similar

to an SVG (compound) path, and get a BASE64-encoded OTF back for

use in an @font-face src property. Define outline, load in, apply

to single letter.

The code can be built with `node r.js -o build` (windows users will

probably need to do something stupid like `node c:\Users\YourNameHere\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\requirejs\bin\r.js -o build.js`

because r.js was not packaged as nicely as npm or browserify)

Why is this useful? What a silly question.
