# ttf_to_binary_font
# Font to Binary Conversion Script
This script uses the following libraries:
- **Pillow** (a fork of PIL): to load and manipulate the font image
- **numpy**: to convert glyph images to binary arrays
## Script Functionality
The script performs the following steps:
1. Extracts the glyphs from the input TrueType font file using Pillow's `ImageFont` class.
2. Creates a binary representation of each glyph by converting it to an array and packing it into bytes using `struct.pack`.
3. Saves the binary font data to a file named after the input font file but with `_binary.bin` appended (e.g., `arial.ttf_binary.bin`).
4. Generates a `README.md` file describing the parameters used for generating the binary font and the output files produced.
## Usage
Run the script from the command line as follows:
```bash
python font_to_binary.py your_font_file.ttf
```
Replace `your_font_file.ttf` with the path to your TrueType font file (for example, `arial.ttf`).
The script will generate both:
- A binary font data file with `_binary.bin` appended to the input font's filename.
- A `README.md` file in the current working directory explaining the generated output and parameters used.
