T1TESTPAGE(1)

💅 T1TESTPAGE 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual page for t1testpage — she's a little legend from the LCDF Typetools fam and she's about to make you a whole proof sheet 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

t1testpage — make a PostScript proof for a Type 1 font, no cap 🖨️✨

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

t1testpage [font...]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically, T1testpage whips up a PostScript proof document for the Type 1 font file you point it at, and then it just… writes it straight to standard output. iconic behavior honestly 💅

the proof shows every single glyph in the font — like, all of them — and it includes each one's glyph name AND its encoding. yes, both. she's thorough. 👑

the font argument should be the name of a PFA or PFB font file. literally just the filename, bestie.

if you give her more than one font? the output proof contains all the fonts, in order. queued up like a little lineup 🧚

and if font is omitted entirely? no worries. t1testpage will read a font file from standard input instead. she's flexible like that 🫶

heads up babes — T1testpage is preliminary software. it's giving work-in-progress. treat her gently 😭

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -g glyphs, --glyph=glyphs — only print the glyphs that match glyphs. the argument is a glyph pattern and it uses shell-like matching rules, so like, -g 'A*' will match the glyphs 'A', 'Atilde', and 'Ampersand', among others 💖 you can drop this option multiple times, OR shove multiple space-separated patterns into one single option. your call, main character 🎀
• -s, --smoke — print smoke proofs, which means one glyph per page. lowkey luxurious spacing ngl. > this option is preliminary, so don't come for her if it's quirky 🙈
• -o file, --output=file — write the output proof to file instead of standard output. redirect your destiny 💫
• -h, --help — print usage info and dip out. bye bestie 👋
• -v, --version — print the version number plus some short non-warranty information, then exit. receipts only, no promises ✨
