NAME

6       xglyph - demonstration program for the t1lib font rasterizer library.

SYNOPSIS

9       xglyph [ fontfile...  ]

DESCRIPTION

12       This  manual  page  documents  briefly the xglyph program.  This manual
13       page was written for the  Debian  GNU/Linux  distribution  because  the
14       original program does not have a manual page.
15
16       xglyph  is  a  program which demonstrates the capabilities of the t1lib
17       library.  It allows the user to view an arbitrary character  or  string
18       rendered  in  the various ways pgossible with the library.  By default,
19       it writes a log file named t1lib.log in the current directory.
20
21       If invoked with no arguments, it will attempt to read the  global  con‐
22       figuration  file  and font database.  It will also accept any number of
23       filenames on the command line, in which case these are treated as  font
24       files to be loaded instead of the default font database.

ENVIRONMENT

87       In the Debian GNU/Linux version of this program, the environment  vari‐
88       able  T1LIB_CONFIG,  if  set, points to an alternate configuration file
89       with which to initialize the library.

93
94       xglyph is much more fully documented in the  LaTeX  documentation  that
95       accompanies  the  upstream  t1lib  distribution.  This documentation is
96       installed in PostScript and source formats with the  t1lib-dev  package
97       in  /usr/share/doc/t1lib-dev,  and  is also accessible through the dwww
98       system.
