"Brutal" TTFPATCH - node.js porting v1.0 - (C) by Wolfram Esser [[email protected]] 2001-02-23. This is only a "translation" in node.js of this useful project http://www.derwok.de/downloads/ttfpatch/ and related fork https://github.com/rmuch/ttfpatch

Getting Started

Install the module with:

npm install -g nodettfpatch

How to use

• filePath - TTF font path
• wantedFontType - values:
  • 0: embedding for permanent installation
  • 1: reserved - do not use!
  • 2: embedding restricted (not allowed!)
  • 4: embedding for preview & printing allowed
  • 8: embedding for editing allowed Hint: fsType values can be added. So a fsType value of '12' (which is 4 + 8) means set 'embedding for preview&printing allowed' and set 'embedding for editing allowed'.

Using from CLI

ttfpatch filePath wantedFontType

Using in script

var ttfpatch = require('nodettfpatch');
ttfpatch();	//for module help
ttfpatch(filePath);	//for font file check filetype
ttfpatch(filePath,wantedFontType); //for modify font file type

TTFPatch Patches and Builds

Introduction

Ever wanted to embed a freely licensed font into your web page, for example as a local mirror of a Google Web Font, but you were presented with an error message like @font-face failed OpenType embedding permission check. Permission must be Installable. from Internet Explorer?

Do you have the right to use a font, but due to technical error, the font has been built with the wrong permission flag?

Are you a font author who wants to change the permission flag on their font?

This tool is here to help.
