| 15 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
| 16 | .I Vfontinfo | |
| 17 | allows you to examine a font in the unix format. | |
| 18 | It prints out | |
| 19 | all the information in the font header and information about every | |
| 20 | non-null (width > 0) glyph. | |
| 21 | This can be used to make sure the font | |
| 22 | is consistent with the format. | |
| 23 | .PP | |
| 24 | The | |
| 25 | .I fontname | |
| 26 | argument is the name of the font you wish to inspect. | |
| 27 | It writes to standard output. | |
| 28 | If it can't find the file in your working directory, it looks in | |
| 29 | .B /usr/lib/vfont | |
| 30 | (the place most of the fonts are kept). | |
| 31 | .PP | |
| 32 | The | |
| 33 | .IR characters , | |
| 34 | if given, specify certain characters to show. | |
| 35 | If omitted, the entire font is shown. | |
| 36 | .PP | |
| 37 | If the | |
| 38 | .B \-v | |
| 39 | (verbose) | |
| 40 | flag is used, | |
| 41 | the bits of the glyph itself are shown | |
| 42 | as an array of X's and spaces, | |
| 43 | in addition to the header information. | |
