xglyph
is a tool which makes most of the functionality of
t1lib visible to the user without the need of having to write an
own program and without the need of having to understand most of the
library
before. This program--as the name indicates--needs X11. It is thus only
build if X11 is installed on the target system and if X11 support has not
explicitly been disabled. All
necessary resources are set internally to default values so that the
program can be run out of the box without any installation.
In case the user did not already create a custom configuration file and an
associated font database file, the program should be started from the
subdirectory xglyph
of the distribution. When starting, xglyph
checks for the environment entry T1LIB_CONFIG
and if it does not exist
it adds the association T1LIB_CONFIG=./t1lib.config
to the
environment. In other words it expects a valid configuration file in the
current directory.
There are several widgets which may be categorized into 5 types.
