embed:
Type: array
Default: []
Valid values: ['woff', 'ttf']

Font config files:
Font name, style and weight can be specified manually per font in a json file of the same name as the font.
For example, for the font: fonts/sans.ttf the config file would be: fonts/sans.json.
Example file format:
{
"name" : "Super Sans",
"weight" : "400",
"style" : "normal"
}Note: If present, the json config file must be valid json.
Complete example:
var fs = require('fs');
var path = require('path');
var fontfacegen = require('./fontfacegen');
var source = 'tmp/';
var dest = 'tmp/dest/';
var fonts = fs.readdirSync(source);
for (var i = fonts.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
var font = fonts[i];
var extension = path.extname(font);
var fontname = path.basename(font, extension);
// Test with embedded ttf
if (extension == '.ttf' || extension == '.otf') {
fontfacegen({
source: path.join(source, font),
dest: dest,
css_fontpath: '../fonts/',
embed: ['ttf'],
subset: 'abcdef',
collate: true
});
