# 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 out.h
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Replace `your_font_file.ttf` with the path to your TrueType font file (for example, `arial.ttf`).
|
|
Replace `out.h` with the path to your TrueType font file (for example, `font_map.h`).
