<P>
<EM>Fontimage</EM> produces a thumbnail image of a font (which may be in
any format <A HREF="overview.html">fontforge</A> can read).
<P>
You may either explicitly specify text to be displayed in the font, or rely
on fontimage's default behavior, which is to check for various scripts it
knows about and display something appropriate for each one present.
<DL>
<DT>
--help
<DD>
Displays a list of arguments and descriptions of each.
<DT>
--width num
<DD>
Specifies the width (in pixels) of the output image. If omitted the image
will be as wide as it needs to be to display the text.
<DT>
--height num
<DD>
Specifies the height (in pixels) of the output image. If omitted the image
will be as high as it needs to be to display the text.
<DT>
--o outputfile
<DD>
Specifies the name of the output image file. The format is determined by
the extension. Currently only ".bmp" and ".png" are supported. If omitted,
fontimage will choose a filename based on the fontname of the font.
<DT>
--pixelsize num
<DD>
Specifies the pixelsize at which to display text. This may be specified multiple
times. Each specification applies to any --text arguments which occur after
it.
<DT>
--fontname
<DD>
Include the fontname as a line of text.
<DT>
--text string
<DD>
Specifies a string to be displayed. The string <EM>must</EM> be in UTF-8.
This option may be provided multiple times to supply more than one line of
text. If omitted entirely, fontimage will examine the scripts it knows about
in the font and will display text appropriate to each one present.
<DT>
--version
<DD>
Displays the fontimage version.
