Usage: ttf_to_pngs.py [options]

Options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -f FONT, --font=FONT  the font file (must be a .ttf font)
  -g GLYPHS, --glyphs=GLYPHS
                        the csv codes file (a line must follow this syntax:
                        "name, unicode")

You basically need a ttf font, a codes file (csv) that contains lines following this syntax :

glyph_label, glyph_code

And you're almost done ! Simply call

ttf_to_pngs.py -f font_ligatures.ttf  -g codes_ligatures.csv -o images

Why ?

I've been frustrated by the wonderful Ligatures font, since I wanted to use it as regular png icons. So I made this script.

Issues

It probably is very focused on the Ligatures font, so offset and stuff may not be accurate for other fonts. Feel free to contact me or send a pull request on this repo.

Can I contact you for a specific need ?

No.

Just kidding, of course you can.
