Icon Font Generator CLI

This command line tool lets you convert svg image files under the source folder to webfont (eot, svg, ttf, woff and woff2) with 2-layer icon support

This tool is built on top of Fontello. Forked from Fontello-Offline-CLI.

Usage

$ node icon-font-generator-cli --version
$ node icon-font-generator-cli --help
$ node icon-font-generator-cli -s "src/path" -n thefontname -a "font author" -o "output/path"
$ node icon-font-generator-cli -c conf.json -w

Font development

md [project_name]
cd [project_name]
npm init -y
npm i -D ArtCraft/Icon-Font-Generator-CLI
md _icons
touch conf.json

conf.json

{
  "name": "icon",
  "src": "_icons",
  "output": "_output",
  "preview_size": 24,
  "default_size": 24,
  "author": "Unknown"
}

and add following to package.json

  ...
  "scripts": {
    "watch": "node node_modules/icon-font-generator-cli -c conf.json -w",
    "build": "node node_modules/icon-font-generator-cli -c conf.json"
  },
  ....

put svg files under _icons folder

and run npm run watch

This will regenerate a font and open a preview page. And each time you change something in _icons folder font going to be regenerated and preview reloaded.

Enjoy.
