## What it is
font-carrier is a Node.js library for manipulating font files, letting you set any SVG as the glyph for a character or extract the SVG shape of a glyph from an existing font. It can create blank fonts, parse TTF/SVG fonts, and export to the five major web font formats (ttf, eot, woff, woff2, svg).

## Use cases
- generate an iconfont from a set of svg icons
- convert svg icons into ttf woff and woff2 web fonts
- extract the svg shape of a character from an existing ttf font
- customize how a chinese character renders by replacing its glyph with an svg
- subset or rebuild fonts programmatically in node
- create a blank font and fill glyphs via svg

## When to choose
- you need programmatic svg-to-font or font-to-svg conversion in Node.js
- you are building an iconfont pipeline for web projects
- you want to replace or inspect individual glyph shapes in a font

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained tool - the latest release is from 2021 and the project sees little activity
- you only need a GUI or CLI for font subsetting rather than a library
- you work outside the Node.js ecosystem

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: parser, serialization, graphics
- domain: web-development, frontend, files
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: font-manipulation, iconfont, svg-to-font, font-subsetting, webfont, ttf, woff, nodejs
