ftview - simple glyph viewer
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).
- -m text
- Use text for rendering.
- -l mode
- Set start-up rendering mode (0 <= mode <= 6).
- -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'.
- -v
- Show version.
