       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).
