ttf-chardump

A small CLI utility that dumps all printable characters from the Basic Multilingual Plane which are defined in the specified TTF font as UTF-8 string.

Can be used to check whether a font supports the characters you need, generating character lists for bitmap font generators, etc.

Usage: ttf-chardump <path-to-font.ttf> [font face index]
Examples:
	ttf-chardump MyFont.ttf
	ttf-chardump MyFont.ttf 2

Example output:

./ttf-chardump /usr/share/fonts/truetype/liberation/LiberationMono-Regular.ttf

Building

You need Make and a C99 compiler. The only dependency is FreeType 2 (libfreetype6).

Just run make and you'll get ttf-chardump (or ttf-chardump.exe) in the same directory.
