  --scale SCALE         scaling factor between 0 and 1, or 'auto' for
                        automatic scaling (default: auto); be careful, as

Examples

Download latest Font Awesome:

$ icon-font-to-png --download font-awesome

List all available icons:

$ icon-font-to-png --css font-awesome.css --ttf fontawesome-webfont.ttf --list

Export ‘play’ and ‘stop’ icons, size 64x64:

$ icon-font-to-png --css font-awesome.css --ttf fontawesome-webfont.ttf --size 64 play stop

Export all icons in blue:

$ icon-font-to-png --css font-awesome.css --ttf fontawesome-webfont.ttf --color blue ALL

$ font-awesome-to-png ALL
