XGLYPH(1) XGLYPH(1)
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 con-
figuration 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.

with which to initialize the library.

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.
