NAME
     fontimage - produce a font thumbnail image

SYNOPSIS
     fontimage	[--help]  [--width num] [--height num] [--pixelsize num] [--text
     string] [--o outputfile] [--usage] [--version] fontfile

DESCRIPTION
     The program fontimage loads a font, which may be in any format fontforge(1)
     can read, and then produces an image showing 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 im-
	    age will be as wide as necessary to display the text.

     --height num
	    Specifies the height of the output image. If this is omitted the im-
	    age 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  multiple  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.

     --version
	    Display the current version
