Usage Documentation #175

Open spwarner opened 3 years ago

I need to build font PBFs for use in Mapbox, for Unicode characters U+1400–167F (Canadian Inuktitut syllabics) but I don't have a clue where to start with fontnik. I can't find any documentation on how to use it, and given that I'm looking for characters outside the normal range (I assume), how to I specify that?

After digging around, it seems you just run ./bin/build-glyphs path/to/font.ttf outputdir, and my Unicode charaters are made by default, so I'm all set. Would still be good to add the basic run command to the Readme though
