✨ FTSDF ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to ftsdf — your new fave lil SDF viewer, live from the <pink>General Commands Manual</pink>. it's giving niche but make it iconic 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ftsdf pt font

that's it. two lil arguments. you got this 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

ftsdf shows off Signed Distance Fields (aka SDF) for the glyphs of whatever font you throw at it, and like… it lets you vibe with all the rendering and display options interactively 🔥 no cap, you just sit there and tweak stuff while it updates live. main character energy fr fr.

  • pt — the point size, bestie. and listen: since the resolution is always set to 72dpi right now, this number directly gives you the ppem value too (that's pixels per EM, iykyk). so no mental math needed, slay ✨
  • font — the font file you wanna display. that's the one. drop it in 💖
ngl the resolution is locked at 72dpi for now, so don't come for me about the pt/ppem thing — it's literally the same number. periodt 💀

and that's the whole page, gorgeous 🌈 this lil masterpiece came to you courtesy of FreeType 2.14.3, dated March 2026. go forth and render some glyphs, you absolute legend 👑💜
