NAME

xgridfit - a program for gridfitting, or "hinting," TrueType fonts

SYNOPSIS

xgridfit file.{xgf or xml}

DESCRIPTION

Xgridfit is a simple program that implements an XML-based language for gridfitting, or "hinting," TrueType fonts. Xgridfit is implemented as an XSLT script that compiles an XML source file into tables and instructions that relate to the gridfitting of glyphs. Xgridfit does not insert these elements into a font itself, but rather relies on other programs to do this.

xgridfit is a command that generates a script for FontForge, the Open Source font editor. It will produce a script named file.pe. Then, you may simply run your script in FontForge :


    $ fontforge -script file.pe
