Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Create a SVG font from a set of SVG files

[](#create-a-svg-font-from-a-set-of-svg-files)

```
php svg-icon-font-generator.phar create-font /path/to/svg/files your-font.svg --rename-files

```

The files should be named like this:

- `arrow-up-x2191.svg` use the correct unicode symbol if possible
- `magnifying-glass-xe001.svg` otherwise use the unicode "Private Use Area" (start from xe001, don't use xe000)
- `key.svg` this file gets automatically mapped to a unicode "Private Use Area" symbol, if you use the `--rename-files` option this file will be renamed to something like `key-xe002.svg`

The list above generates the class names `icon-arrow-up`, `icon-magnifying-glass` and `icon-key`.

For creating new icons you can use this SVG template:

An example set of SVG files can be found here:

### Create a set of SVG files from a SVG font

[](#create-a-set-of-svg-files-from-a-svg-font)

```
php svg-icon-font-generator.phar create-files your-font.svg /path/to/svg/files

```

### Create a HTML info page from a SVG font

[](#create-a-html-info-page-from-a-svg-font)

```
php svg-icon-font-generator.phar create-info your-font.svg your-font-info.html

```

[](#create-a-css-file-with-icon-classes-from-a-svg-font)

The icon class names are based on the `glyph-name`s specified in the SVG file.
