NAME

       getinstrs  - extracts TrueType instructions for one or more glyphs from
       a font.

SYNOPSIS

       getinstrs [options] fontfile glyphs...

DESCRIPTION

       getinstrs calls the FontForge Python extension to extract  instructions
       from  a  TrueType  font  (either .ttf or .sfd) and print them to stdout
       (redirect to capture them in a file). By default the  instructions  are
       printed  as  an  Xgridfit glyph program. Use the -r, --raw command-line
       option to  print  them  as  "raw"  instructions  instead,  or  use  -x,
       --xgridfit  to  enclose  the glyph program(s) in an <xgridfit> element,
       making a complete, valid Xgridfit program.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
              Display a help message and exit.

       -r, --raw
              Print "raw" instructions instead of Xgridfit glyph programs.

       -x, --xgridfit
              Print XML declaration and <xgridfit> element, making a complete,
              valid Xgridfit program.
