DESCRIPTION
     The program fontimage loads a font, which may be in any for-
     mat  fontforge(1) can read, and then produces an image show-
     ing representative glyphs of the font.


OPTIONS
     --help
          Provide a description with  a  list  of  the  available
          options.

     --width num
          Specifies the width of the output  image.  If  this  is
          omitted  the  image  will  be  as  wide  as necesary to
          display the text.

     --height num
          Specifies the height of the output image.  If  this  is
          omitted  the  image  will  be  as  high as necessary to
          display the text.

     --pixelsize num
          Specifies the pixelsize used to display the text.  This
          argument  may  be  specified  multiple  times  and each
          refers to any --text lines that follow it.

     --text string
          Specifies a line of text to be  displayed.  The  string
          must  be in UTF-8.  This argument may be specified mul-
          tiple times to provide several lines of text. If no  --
          text  arguments are supplied fontimage will examine the
          font, looking for various scripts it knows  about,  and
          will try to display something appropriate for each.

     -o  outfile
          Specifies the output filename for the image.  The  type
          of  image  will  be determined by the file's extension.
          Currently only ".bmp" and  ".png"  are  recognized.  If
          omitted  fontimage  will choose an output name based on
          the font's fontname field.

     --usage
          Display the usage description.
