generate a font thumbnail image
fontimage [--o outfile] [--width num] [--height num]
[--pixelsize num] [--fontname] [--text string] [--version]
[--help] fontfile
Fontimage produces a thumbnail image of a font
(which may be in any format fontforge can read).
You may either explicitly specify text to be displayed in
the font, or rely on fontimage's default behavior, which is to
check for various scripts it knows about and display something
appropriate for each one present.
- --help
- Displays a list of arguments and descriptions of
each.
- --width num
- Specifies the width (in pixels) of the output image. If
omitted the image will be as wide as it needs to be to
display the text.
- --height num
- Specifies the height (in pixels) of the output image. If
omitted the image will be as high as it needs to be to
display the text.
- --o outputfile
- Specifies the name of the output image file. The format
is determined by the extension. Currently only ".bmp" and
".png" are supported. If omitted, fontimage will choose a
filename based on the fontname of the font.
- --pixelsize num
- Specifies the pixelsize at which to display text. This
may be specified multiple times. Each specification applies
to any --text arguments which occur after it.
- --fontname
- Include the fontname as a line of text.
- --text string
- Specifies a string to be displayed. The string
must be in UTF-8. This option may be provided
multiple times to supply more than one line of text. If
omitted entirely, fontimage will examine the scripts it knows
about in the font and will display text appropriate to each
one present.
- --version
- Displays the fontimage version.
