-allglyphs (load all glyphs in the 'glyf' table
of a truetype collection)
-nosplash (no splash screen)
-quiet (don't print non-essential information to stderr)
-unique (if a fontforge is already running open
all arguments in it and have this process exit)
-display display-name (sets the X display)
-depth val (sets the display depth if possible)

(Using the BROWSER environment variable)
-version (prints the version of fontforge and exits)
-library-status (prints information about optional libraries
and exits)
-lang=py use python for scripts (may precede -script)
-lang=ff use fontforge's legacy scripting language
-script scriptfile (executes scriptfile)
must be the first option (or follow -lang).
All others passed to scriptfile.
-dry scriptfile (syntax checks scriptfile)
must be the first option. All others passed to scriptfile.
Only for fontforge's own scripting language, not python.
-c script-string (executes argument as scripting cmds)
must be the first option. All others passed to the script.
FontForge will read postscript (pfa, pfb, ps, cid), opentype (otf),
truetype (ttf,ttc), macintosh resource fonts (dfont,bin,hqx),
and bdf and pcf fonts. It will also read its own format --
sfd files.
If no fontfiles are specified (and -new is not either and there's nothing
to recover) then fontforge will produce an open font dlg.
If a scriptfile is specified then FontForge will not open the X display
nor will it process any additional arguments. It will execute the
scriptfile and give it any remaining arguments
If the first argument is an executable filename, and that file's first
line contains "fontforge" then it will be treated as a scriptfile.
