import sys, re

if len(sys.argv) < 2:
	print ('Usage: python {} webfont-file.svg').format(sys.argv[0])
	sys.exit()
with open(sys.argv[1], 'r') as r:
	font = r.read()
	# Glyph attributes (including the path's d attribute) may span several lines.
	# Match through the end of each element rather than extracting only its first
	# line. SVG fonts normally use self-closing glyph elements, but handle an
	# explicit closing tag as well.
	glyphs = re.findall(r'<glyph\b.*?(?:/>|</glyph\s*>)', font, re.DOTALL)
	
	# for every glyph element in the file
	for i in range(0, len(glyphs)):
		filename = re.search(r'glyph-name="([^"]+)"', glyphs[i])
		filename = filename.group(1) if filename else str(i + 1).rjust(3, '0')

		with open(filename + ".svg", 'w') as w:
			w.write('<svg width="2000" height="2000" viewBox="0 0 2000 2000" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">\n')
			# replace 'glyph' with 'path' and flip vertically
			path = re.sub(r'<glyph\b', '<path transform="scale(1, -1) translate(0, -2000)"', glyphs[i], count=1)
			path = re.sub(r'</glyph\s*>', '</path>', path)
			w.write(path + '\n')
			w.write('</svg>')

Fixed a few issues including a missing closing path tag.
