NAME

       ftview - simple glyph viewer

SYNOPSIS

       ftview [options] pt font

DESCRIPTION

       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.

OPTIONS

       -d WxHxD
              Set the window width to W pixels, the height to H pixels, and 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.

       -v     Show version.
