💧 waterfall(1) — General Commands Manual 🦋

ok so bestie, gather round, because this little tool is literally the main character of font inspection and you're about to be obsessed 💅

✨ NAME ✨

waterfall — view all characters of font in all sizes 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

waterfall [OPTION]...

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so picture this: with waterfall, you get to browse characters of font in different rendering configurations 👑 like, actually browse them. and here's the iconic part — there is line for each font size from 5px to 36px, which is fr fr where the name “waterfall” comes from 💖 the sizes just cascade down the screen like a little waterfall of glyphs, no cap.

and bestie, it's live. the following parameters can be changed and the view is updated immediately on screen, no reload, no waiting, just vibes:

• font size range and increment
• hinting
• autohinting
• anti-aliasing
• subpixel smoothing
• aspect

not me getting emotional over instant re-render 😭✨

💜 OPTIONS 💜

ok so this is the funny part — waterfall doesn't have own options, periodt 💀 but all GTK and GDK options are recognized, so if you know those, you already know these. iykyk 🫶

• waterfall doesn't have own options — but all GTK and GDK options are recognized 👑

This program is written by Noah Levitt ⭐ It uses GTK+ 2 and Xft libraries and is improved version over Keith Packard's waterfall program that uses X Athena Widgets library (Xaw) for user interface 🌸 Both programs are written in 2003. a true vintage moment, we love a glow-up 🧚

This manual page is written by Ognyan Kulev <ogi@fmi.uni-sofia.bg> for the Debian project 💖

and that's the whole page bestie, every single fact intact, every option (there are none of its own, and that's on GTK/GDK) preserved 🌸 go stare at some glyphs, you deserve it 💅

ok love u bye 💖 this was the Debian release from 2005-04-24, waterfall(1), and you ate that 🎀✨🦋
