Hi,

I would like to get the information in ttf tables and have downloaded ttfdump.exe which should be able to dump this information to file, problem is I cannot seem to dump to file, just the command window. If someone has successfully used this tool please can you provide an example of the syntax used. I tried to use -i and -o but this did not work.

If you know of a free program/webpage that successfully reads a ttf file without any or with limited configuration then please let me know.

( I have already downloaded ttx and sfntly but these are not simple installs )

Many thanks,

Tony Hallett

This worked for me from the command prompt:

ttfdump GenBkBasR.ttf > table.txt

the ttf table information will be written into file "table.txt"
