[--text string] [--o outputfile] [--usage] [--version] fontfile

DESCRIPTION

The program fontimage loads a font, which may be in any format
fontforge(1) can read, and then produces an image showing
representative glyphs of the font.

OPTIONS

--help Provide a description with a list of the available options.

--width num
Specifies the width of the output image. If this is omitted
the image will be as wide as necessary to display the text.

--height num
Specifies the height of the output image. If this is omitted
the image will be as high as necessary to display the text.

--pixelsize num
Specifies the pixelsize used to display the text. This
argument may be specified multiple times and each refers to
any --text lines that follow it.

--text string
Specifies a line of text to be displayed. The string must be
in UTF-8. This argument may be specified multiple times to
provide several lines of text. If no --text arguments are
supplied fontimage will examine the font, looking for various
scripts it knows about, and will try to display something
appropriate for each.

-o outfile
Specifies the output filename for the image. The type of image
will be determined by the file's extension. Currently only
".bmp" and ".png" are recognized. If omitted fontimage will
choose an output name based on the font's fontname field.
