The Program xglyph

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.
