.SH NAME
ttfautohintGUI \- add new auto-generated hints to a TrueType font
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B ttfautohintGUI
[\fIOPTION\fR]...
.SH DESCRIPTION
A GUI application to replace hints in a TrueType font.
The new hints are based on FreeType's autohinter.
.PP
This program is a simple front\-end to the `ttfautohint' library.
.PP
Long options can be given with one or two dashes,
and with and without equal sign between option and argument.
This means that the following forms are acceptable:
`\-foo=bar', `\-\-foo=bar', `\-foo bar', `\-\-foo bar'.
.PP
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
Options not related to Qt or X11 set default values.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
\fB\-f\fR, \fB\-\-latin\-fallback\fR
set fallback script to latin
.TP
\fB\-G\fR, \fB\-\-hinting\-limit\fR=\fIN\fR
switch off hinting above this PPEM value
(default: 200); value 0 means no limit
.TP
\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR
display this help and exit
.TP

\fB\-l\fR, \fB\-\-hinting\-range\-min\fR=\fIN\fR
the minimum PPEM value for hint sets
(default: 8)
.TP
\fB\-n\fR  \fB\-\-no\-info\fR
don't add ttfautohint info
to the version string(s) in the `name' table
.TP
\fB\-p\fR, \fB\-\-pre\-hinting\fR
apply original hints in advance
.TP

.TP
\fB\-\-fg\fR=\fICOLOR\fR
set the default foreground color
.TP
\fB\-\-fn\fR=\fIFONTNAME\fR
set the application font
.TP
\fB\-\-font\fR=\fIFONTNAME\fR
same as \fB\-\-fn\fR
.TP
\fB\-\-foreground\fR=\fICOLOR\fR

offthespot, root)
.TP
\fB\-\-name\fR=\fINAME\fR
set the application name
.TP
\fB\-\-ncols\fR=\fICOUNT\fR
limit the number of colors allocated
in the color cube on an 8\-bit display,
if the application is using the
QApplication::ManyColor color specification
.TP
\fB\-\-title\fR=\fITITLE\fR
set the application title (caption)
.TP
\fB\-\-visual\fR=\fIVISUAL\fR
force the application
to use the given visual on an 8\-bit display
(only possible value: TrueColor)
.PP
The program accepts both TTF and TTC files as input.
Use option \fB\-i\fR only if you have a legal permission to modify the font.
If option \fB\-f\fR is not set, glyphs not in the latin range stay unhinted.
The used PPEM value for option \fB\-p\fR is FUnits per em, normally 2048.
With option \fB\-s\fR, use default values for standard stem width and height,
otherwise they are derived from latin character `o'.
.PP
A hint set contains the optimal hinting for a certain PPEM value;
the larger the hint set range, the more hint sets get computed,
usually increasing the output font size.  Note, however,
that the `gasp' table of the output file enables grayscale hinting
for all sizes (limited by option \fB\-G\fR which is handled in the bytecode).
.PP
A command\-line version of this program is called `ttfautohint'.
