Is there a linux tool that can take utf8 text, and tell you all the fonts on the system that can display it?
I'm not sure such a tool can exist, but I imagine there must be some way a tool can load each font on the system, and confirm whether the glyphs exist or not for that font. Firefox and Thunderbird all seem to know how to display eg. japanese and korean fonts "automagically", but in FLTK (on linux anyway), we need to /specify/ font names in order to display them properly. So it'd be great if I could copy UTF8 text from eg. firefox/mozilla, and paste it into a program that tells me what font names on the system can display it. I suppose I could write such a tool, but I don't think eg. fl_draw() tells us if it was unable to find the glyphs for the font its told to draw. Any ideas? _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
