NAME
ftvalid - font layout table validator
SYNOPSIS
ftvalid [options] fontfile
DESCRIPTION
ftvalid is an OpenType layout table validator.
This program is part of the FreeType demos package.
OPTIONS
-f index
Select font index (default: 0).
-t validator
Select validator. Available validators are ot, gx, and ckern.
Note that the availability of validators depends on compile-time options of FreeType (this is,
whether the modules `otvalid' and `gxvalid' are compiled into the library).
-T tbls
[ot, gx] Select sfnt table name tags to be validated. Use `:' to separate tags.
Supported tables in ot validator are BASE, GDEF, GPOS, GSUB, JSTF, and MATH.
Supported tables in gx validator are feat, mort, morx, bsln, just, kern, opbd, trak, prop, and
lcar.
Example: -T "feat:morx"
-T dialect
[ckern] Select classic kern dialect for validation. Use `:' to separate dialect names. If more
than one dialect is specified, all dialects are accepted when validating.
Supported dialects in ckern validator are ms and apple.
-l List the layout-related SFNT tables available in the font file. The selected validator (with
option -t) affects the list.
ckern is applicable to `kern' table only. Option -L lists dialects supported in ckern validator
only if `kern' table is available in the font file.
-V level
Validation level. Possible values are 0 (default), 1 (tight), and 2 (paranoid).
-v Show version.
