display_ttt with -of control argument is supposed to output ttf in formation that cv_ttf will accept

[john ata]

The display_ttt command supports an -of control argument that writes the TTT to a file in TTF format. It is supposed to generate a TTF source file that is acceptable to cv_ttf.

Instead, the resulting TTF cannot be compiled with cv_ttf. It gets this error message:

display_ttt -of my_ttf.ttf
r 15:07 4.471 44

cv_ttf my_ttf.ttf
