DESCRIPTION
       The program fontimage loads a font, which may be in any format fontforge(1) can read,  and  then	 produces  an  image
       showing representative glyphs of the font.

OPTIONS
       --help Provide a description with a list of the available options.

       --width num
	      Specifies	 the width of the output image. If this is omitted the image will be as wide as necessary to display
	      the text.

       --height num
	      Specifies the height of the output image. If this is omitted the image will be as high as necessary to display
	      the text.

       --pixelsize num
	      Specifies the pixelsize used to display the text. This argument may  be  specified  multiple  times  and	each
	      refers to any --text lines that follow it.

       --text string
	      Specifies	 a line of text to be displayed. The string must be in UTF-8.  This argument may be specified multi‐
	      ple times to provide several lines of text. If no --text arguments are supplied  fontimage  will	examine	 the
	      font, looking for various scripts it knows about, and will try to display something appropriate for each.

       -o  outfile
	      Specifies	 the  output  filename	for the image. The type of image will be determined by the file's extension.
	      Currently only ".bmp" and ".png" are recognized. If omitted fontimage will choose an output name based on	 the
	      font's fontname field.

       --usage
	      Display the usage description.

       --version
