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 WxH[xD]
              Set the window width to W px, the height to H px, and optionally 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), or a numeric charmap index.

       -m text
              Use text for rendering.

       -l mode
              Set start-up rendering mode (0 <= mode <= 6).  This corresponds to  the  keystrokes
              'A' to 'G' within the program.

       -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.  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.
