📖 Usage
$ morphio --help
Usage: morphio -i <input> -o <output> [-m] [-y] [pairs...]
Morphio: Morphs the font, so it renders worda as wordb.
Options:
-i, --input input font file path
-o, --output output font file path
-m, --no-word-match
disable word match
-y, --yes allow overwrite output file if it exists
-h, --help display usage information
[!NOTE] For variable-length many-to-many morphs, Morphio appends empty placeholder glyphs to the font. When this happens, some legacy glyph-count-dependent tables such as
LTSHandhdmxmay be dropped instead of rebuilt. This is usually fine in modern browsers and text renderers, but very old rasterizers may render slightly differently.
✅ TODO
- Recipe (configuration) support
- Advanced settings
- Morph rules
- Configure word matching of start and end of words separately
- Reduce TTC font sizes (table sharing?)
- Allow morphing multiple words in one go
- Allow morphing words with different lengths
- ServiceWorker
- Option for enabling/disabling word matching
- Say we want to morph "banana" to "orange"
- When word matching is enabled,
xbananawill not be morphed, because we're matching whole words, not letters - When word matching is disabled,
xbananawill be morphed toxorange
- Optimization
- Use
CoverageTable::Format2, which allows for more efficient storage of contiguous ranges of glyphs
- Use
- Better word matching
- Currently we consider whole words only by letters (
[a-zA-Z]+) - Next stage: consider digits (
[0-9]+) and underscores (_) - Maybe an option for toggling which characters to consider as part of words?
- Currently we consider whole words only by letters (
- Bug fixes
- Might not work with fonts with multiple language records, e.g.
IMPACT.TTF
- Might not work with fonts with multiple language records, e.g.
