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.
