The font of the present document was produced by the tool.

It also supports kerning - although, for unknown reasons, this kerning works only if you convert the TTF file afterwards to WOFF (which any online tool can do for you). It supports different character ranges (Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, etc.), not just Western characters. This converter takes as input an SVG Font file, and produces as output a truetype TTF font file. Here is an attempt at a Java program that converts SVG font files to Truetype font files. However, since this is the decision, so be it. Personally, I find it sad and irresponsible to give up a declarative and clean font format for an ancient, binary, and system-dependent font format. Furthermore, TTF is operating system dependent and behaves slightly differently across different operating systems. Consequently, it is impossible to write such a file by hand. Unfortunately, TTF is a binary font format that requires dealing with search indexes, binary flags, and memory management. The newer formats WOFF and OpenType are just container formats that sit on top of TTF. This makes Truetype (TTF) the only supported alternative. Unfortunately, the W3C and the browser vendors are inching towards a depreciation of SVG fonts - each citing each other's unwillingness to support the format ( Google search). Several font editors can produce such fonts, in particular also PowerLine, the free SVG slide editor with Latex support. The glyphs are defined in a declarative and system-independent way, which makes the format particularly beautiful and easy to handle.

Scalable vector graphics (SVG) is a file format that allows specifying fonts (see W3C specification).
