ftstring - string viewer

ftstring  displays  a  text  string with the given font, allowing to change various rendering and display
       options 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,  ftstring  also  tries to attach the
              corresponding metrics file (with extension `.afm' or `.pfm').

       Besides the string, ftstring also displays two stress test patterns sensitive to rendering flaws, such as
       incorrect gamma settings.  Alternative text-carpeting and  waterfall  views  are  also  available.   This
       program is part of the FreeType demos package.

-dWxH[xD]
              Set  the  window  width  to  W px, the height to H px, and optionally the depth to D bpp (default:
              640x480x24).

       -rr   Use resolution r dpi (default: 72dpi).

       -eenc Specify encoding tag (default: no encoding).  Common values: unic (Unicode), symb  (symbol),  ADOB
              (Adobe standard), ADBC (Adobe custom), or a numeric charmap index.

       -mtext
              Use text for rendering.

       -kkeys
              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.
