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.
