Font Anatomy Tools for Typescript

This is a collection of tools for working with font anatomy in Typescript.

Installation

pnpm add @adam-rocska/font-anatomy

npm install @adam-rocska/font-anatomy

Usage

Command Line Utilities

All utilities do and will assume inputs from stdin and outputs to stdout. This is to allow for easy chaining of commands and general composition.

Examples assume a global install, but of-course you can use npx or pnpx to run them without installing.

my-font.ttf | font-anatomy --output-format=md > font-anatomy.md

// It takes a `PathLike` so you can pass a string, URL or a `Buffer`
