ftgrid - simple glyph grid viewer
Contents
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.

Options
-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).
-findex
Specify first index to display (default: 0).
-eenc Specify encoding tag (default: no encoding). Common values: unic (Unicode), symb (symbol), ADOB
(Adobe standard), ADBC (Adobe custom), or a numeric charmap index.
-a"axis1axis2..."
For Multiple Master, GX, or OpenType variation fonts, specify design coordinates for each axis at
start-up. This option implies option -n. Ignored for all other font formats.
-n Don't display named instances of variation fonts.
-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.
