cURL Project and Go Security Teams Reject CVSS as Broken
cURL and Go security teams are publicly rejecting CVSS as flawed for assessing vulnerabilities and are calling for more accurate, context-aware approaches.
The svg2ttf npm package is a tool that converts SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) fonts to TTF (TrueType Font) format. This is useful for developers who need to use custom fonts in their web or mobile applications and want to ensure compatibility across different platforms.
Convert SVG to TTF
This feature allows you to convert an SVG font file to a TTF font file. The code reads an SVG file, converts it to TTF format, and then writes the TTF file to the specified path.
const svg2ttf = require('svg2ttf');
const fs = require('fs');
const svgFont = fs.readFileSync('path/to/font.svg', 'utf8');
const ttf = svg2ttf(svgFont, {});
fs.writeFileSync('path/to/font.ttf', Buffer.from(ttf.buffer));
Fontkit is a comprehensive font library that supports various font formats including TrueType, OpenType, WOFF, and WOFF2. Unlike svg2ttf, which focuses solely on converting SVG to TTF, Fontkit provides a broader range of functionalities such as font subsetting, glyph manipulation, and font metrics extraction.
Opentype.js is a JavaScript library for parsing and writing OpenType and TrueType fonts. It allows for more detailed manipulation of font data compared to svg2ttf, which is primarily focused on conversion. Opentype.js can be used to create, modify, and export font files in various formats.
The ttf2woff package is used to convert TTF fonts to WOFF (Web Open Font Format). While it serves a different purpose than svg2ttf, it is similar in that it focuses on converting font formats to ensure compatibility across different platforms and browsers.
svg2ttf converts SVG graphics to TTF format. It was written for Fontello, but you can find it useful for your projects.
For developpers: internal API is similar to FontForge's one. Since primary goal is generating iconic fonts, sources can lack some spesific TTF/OTF features, like kerning and so on. Anyway, current code is a good base for development, because it will save you tons of hours to implement correct writing & optimizing TTF tables.
Install:
npm install -g svg2ttf
Usage example:
svg2ttf fontello.svg fontello.ttf
We use jDataView to work with binary buffers. That's universal abstraction layer for both node.js & browser.
svgFontString
- SVG font contentoptions
- not used yetbuf
- jDataView with ttf's contentExample:
var fs = require('fs');
var svg2ttf = require('svg2ttf');
var ttf = svg2ttf(fs.readFileSync('myfont.svg'));
fs.writeFileSync('myfont.ttf', ttf.buffer);
