FTGRID

NAME

ftgrid − simple glyph grid viewer

SYNOPSIS

ftgrid [options] pt font ...

DESCRIPTION

ftgrid displays the glyphs of a font as outlines right before the conversion from outlines to pixels take place. It also displays the resulting bitmap. It is possible to interactively change hinting and rendering options, thus visualizing the applied distortions to the outlines.

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, ftgrid also tries to attach the corresponding metrics file (with extension ‘.afm’ or ‘.pfm’).

This program is part of the FreeType demos package.

Set the window width to w pixels (default: 640px).

Specify first index to display (default: 0).

−d "axis1 axis2 ..."

For Multiple Master or GX fonts, specify design coordinates for each axis at start-up. If this option is given, no named instances are shown. Ignored for all other font formats.
