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.
