fontforge-ruby

A Ruby wrapper for FontForge that can be used to convert fonts into different formats (TTF, OTF, WOFF, SVG)

gem "fontforge-ruby"

This gem requires FontForge command lines tools to be installed. For more info on installation, please refer to the FontForge documentation.

Linux (Debian based)

sh sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fontforge/fontforge; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install fontforge

Mac OS X

brew install fontforge

require 'fontforge_ruby'
FontforgeRuby.convert("input_font.ttf", "output_font.svg") # Converts ttf into svg font

The convert method will return false (not fail) if FontForge could not convert the font. You can handle this situation like so:

require 'fontforge_ruby'
success = FontforgeRuby.convert("input_font.ttf", "output_font.svg") # Converts ttf into svg font

if success
  # continue
else
  raise "Could not convert font"
end
