ftview − simple glyph viewer
ftview [options] [pt] font ...
ftview displays all glyphs of a font, allowing changes of various rendering and hinting parameters interactively.
pt |
The point size for the given resolution. If resolution is 72dpi, this directly gives the ppem value (pixels per EM). | ||
font |
The font file(s) to display. For Type 1 font files, ftview also tries to attach the corresponding metrics file (with extension ‘.afm’ or ‘.pfm’). |
This program is part of the FreeType demos package.
−d WxH[xD]
Set the window width to W px, the height to H px, and optionally the depth to D bpp (default: 640x480x24).
−r r |
Use resolution r dpi (default: 72dpi). |
−f index
Specify first index to display (default: 0).
−e enc |
Specify encoding tag (default: no encoding). Common values: unic (Unicode), symb (symbol), ADOB (Adobe standard), ADBC (Adobe custom), or a numeric charmap index. |
−m text
Use text for rendering.
−l mode
Set start-up rendering mode (0 <= mode <= 6). This corresponds to the keystrokes ’A’ to ’G’ within the program.
−L W1,W2,W3,W4,W5
If there are five arguments, set LCD filter weights (as specified in function FT_Library_SetLcdFilterWeights).
−L G1,G2,G3,G4,G5,G6
If there are six arguments, set the subpixel geometry (as specified in function FT_Library_SetLcdGeometry) depending on the implemented subpixel rendering method.
−p |
Preload file in memory to simulate memory-mapping. |
−k keys
Emulate sequence of keystrokes upon start-up. If the keystrokes contain ’q’, the program operates in batch mode. Function keys Fx are mapped to character codes 0xFx; as an example, −k $’\xF3q’ is function key ’F3’ followed by character ’q’.
