xglyph Commandline Parameters

The syntax of the xglyph commandline is
 xglyph [options] [fontfile1 [fontfile2 [...]]]
If no options and no font files are specified on the commandline xglyph reads the fonts from the font database file. The details depend on which configuration file is found and on this file's contents. If at least one font file is specified on the commandline, the font database--being existent and accessible or not--is ignored and the database is built using the fonts from the commandline. fontfile1 is assigned the font ID 0, fontfile2 is assigned the ID 1 and so forth. Files that cannot be opened for some reason are simply skipped.

xglyph also recognizes a few options. Notice that these options are not intended for an average user. Rather, they provide a means of (a) controlling debugging output from the rasterizer, (b) controlling generation and verbosity of the t1lib-logfile, (c) disabling certain features of the rasterizer and (d) checking some t1lib functions which otherwise would not be required because of the limited functionality of xglyph.

All commandline arguments that start with ``--'' are considered to be options to xglyph. The following is a complete list of valid options and a brief description of their effect:

For those who are wondering about special X11 options like ``-display'', xglyph does not support these. The widgets are built straight ahead and the layout is fixed. xglyph is meant to be a tool for testing some of the functionalities of t1lib and nothing more. Of course, a display other than localhost:0.0 may be specified by environment variable DISPLAY.
