EOTINFO(1)

✨ EOTINFO(1) — eotinfo ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the EOT UTILITIES corner of the manual, section 1 🎀 this one's short, sweet, and honestly kind of iconic.

💖 NAME 💖

eotinfo — display data from an EOT file in a readable way 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

eotinfo [ EOT-file ]

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

So the eotinfo command literally just prints info about the EOT file you hand it, straight to standard output 💅

• If you give it an argument, it reads that EOT file. That's the EOT-file situation right there.
• If you give it no argument at all, it reads the EOT file from standard input. Yeah. It'll just sit there waiting for you to feed it. Not me doing that every single time 🙈

Now, quick lore drop: EOT stands for Embedded OpenType, and it's a binary format. This program decodes most of the information in the EOT header ✨

Important vibe check: it does not read the actual font data. Only the EOT header. That's it. That's the whole job. 💀

Not everything is perfect, bestie, and we're being honest about it:

• eotinfo may display incorrect names for fonts that have non-ASCII characters in their names. 😭 it's giving "close enough"
• The list of Unicode ranges and the list of Windows Code Pages is currently incomplete. Not fully cooked. Still simmering. 🍓

mwah 💋 that's the whole page — version 1.x, dated 25 Jan 2010, brought to you by the EOT UTILITIES girlies. go forth and decode those headers, periodt. 👑✨
