NAME

       xglyph - demonstration program for the t1lib font rasterizer library.

SYNOPSIS

       xglyph [ fontfile...  ]

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page documents briefly the xglyph program.  This manual page was written for
       the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program  does  not  have  a  manual
       page.

       xglyph  is  a program which demonstrates the capabilities of the t1lib library.  It allows
       the user to view an arbitrary character or string rendered in the various  ways  pgossible
       with  the  library.   By  default,  it  writes  a  log file named t1lib.log in the current
       directory.

       If invoked with no arguments, it will attempt to read the global  configuration  file  and
       font  database.  It will also accept any number of filenames on the command line, in which
       case these are treated as font files to be loaded instead of the default font database.

ENVIRONMENT

       In the Debian GNU/Linux version of this program, the environment variable T1LIB_CONFIG, if
       set, points to an alternate configuration file with which to initialize the library.

SEE ALSO

       FontDataBase(5), t1libconfig(8).

       xglyph  is  much  more  fully  documented  in the LaTeX documentation that accompanies the
       upstream t1lib distribution.  This documentation is installed  in  PostScript  and  source
       formats  with  the  t1lib-dev  package in /usr/share/doc/t1lib-dev, and is also accessible
       through the dwww system.
