SHOWCHAR(1)

✨ NAME ✨

showchar — bestie, it shows you a character, with info 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

showchar [ fontname ] [ charname ]

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so real talk: this manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution, and the reason is lowkey funny — the original program literally doesn't have a manual page. so someone had to step up 🫶

showchar outputs PostScript to draw a character, along with metric info. that's the whole vibe. it's giving "tiny tool, does one thing, ate." ✨
