Hi, I''m looking for a viewer showing all available characters in an Xft font. Does there exist something? Except for looking at how the fonts look like, another purose is to find out what fonts include the euro symbol. I only found a few viewers showing Type 1 of TrueType font files, but I''ld like to show a font given an Xft font string.

Does there exist something? xfd(1x) Some examples: xfd -fa ''DejaVu Serif-9'' xfd -fa ''DejaVu Serif-9:autohint=true'' Also, you can do something like: fc-match -v Serif|awk ''/file:/ {print $NF}''|awk -F\" ''{print $2}''|xargs ftview 12 to find the matching font and pass it to ftview for viewing. (ftview is part of ft2demos -- the freetype2 demo package; xfd is one of the core apps from X11) -JimC -- James Cloos <cloos@jhcloos.com>
