The program sfddiff compares two pfaedit(1)-format (sfd) files, specified as command line arguments, taking note of the following:

1): The two fonts have different encodings.
2): Characters are present in one font but not in the other.
3): Characters are present in both fonts but have different sets of outlines or references.
4): The hints are different (optionally suppressible).

-help: Provide a description with a list of the available options.
-ignorehints: Suppress the reporting of hint differences.
-merge outfile: Store a merged version of the two fonts into the specified output file. The merged data will contain everything from sfdfile1 as well as any characters present in sfdfile2 but not in sfdfile1. For any characters with different outlines or references, the background of the the character will contain the splines from sfdfile2 (sadly, references can not be placed in the background).
-usage: Display the usage description.
-version: Display the current version (a six digit string containing the date stamp of the source files).
