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.

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).

       -a "axis1 axis2 ..."
              For  Multiple Master, GX, or OpenType variation fonts, specify design coordinates for each axis at
              start-up.  This option implies option -n.  Ignored for all other font formats.

       -n     Don't display named instances of variation fonts.

       -k keys
              Emulate sequence of keystrokes upon start-up.  If the keystrokes contain 'q', the program operates
              in batch mode.
