Font Tool Request

posted by [personal profile] eftychia at 11:22pm on 2008-12-27

Er ... is there a tool (WinXP or Linux) that'll check a downloaded-but-not-yet-installed TT/OTF font file to see whether certain characters are in it (or to list the Unicode ranges it covers, from which I can find out whether the characters I want are present)? I see a couple of tools that (somewhat clumsily) let me do this for fonts already installed, but I'm hoping to avoid a lot of install-check-uninstall steps if I can.

(And yes, I've decided it's time for another round of "hunt the yogh".)

You can get it by installing fontforge, at least in Ubuntu. The man page for it says there's a Windows tool which does similar but less, called ttfdump.

(This is Leoque, if you want to run the same test.)
