This tool modifies SVG files to use them as font glyphs for font creation. It converts all strokes to paths and combines all objects in each file. This is useful e.g. if you want to work with an app like Icomoon.
The operations could be described as:
- Select all objects and
- convert them from strokes to paths.
- Then combine all and
- save the result to the same file.
