✨ xrdp-dumpfv1 — the font-peeking bestie 💅

okay so like, imagine you've got one of those .fv1 font files and you're just dying to know what's inside it. That's literally what this little cutie does. It's a system manager's manual situation, section 8 (the admin commands girlies), and it's here to spill the tea on your fonts. 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

xrdp-dumpfv1 [ options ] fv1_file

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

xrdp-dumpfv1 is the tool you use when you want to display the contents of an fv1 file. That's it, that's the whole vibe. It opens up the file and shows you what's in there. no cap. ✨

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

Here's the rundown of your options, bestie. Read carefully because there's a rule:

One of -i, -t, or -c must be specified. Like, you have to pick one. No showing up empty-handed. 💀
  • -i — Shows you the general information about the fv1 file. The big picture, the lore, the overview. 👑
  • -t — Dumps out a CSV table of all the glyphs in the font. Super handy because you can yeet this straight into a spreadsheet program and manipulate it however you want. Spreadsheet girlies, this one's for you. 🍓
  • -c <character> — Gives you the detailed info about one specific glyph, and it even shows you a representation of the bitmap for that glyph. So you can literally see it. Iconic.

Now, for the <character> part, you've got three ways to tell it which character you mean:

  • U+<hex> — a Unicode character, e.g. U+25 for a percentage symbol (%).
  • @<char> — a Unicode character, e.g. @% for a percentage symbol.
  • number — the Unicode value as an integer, e.g. 37 for a percentage symbol.
⚠️ Real talk though: the row numbers you see in the font data are relative to the natural font baseline. So if you're comparing two fonts, be aware that when the glyph actually gets drawn, the row number may be affected by the global descender value for the font — which you can see with -i. Don't get caught out by this, fr fr. 😭

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

Here's how the girlies actually use it:

xrdp-dumpfv1 -i /usr/share/xrdp/sans-10.fv1

Displays global information about the sans 10 font file distributed with xrdp. 🦋

xrdp-dumpfv1 -c @'*' /usr/share/xrdp/sans-10.fv1

Displays information about the asterisk symbol in the sans 10 font file distributed with xrdp. ⭐
