7sdream / fontfor Goto Github PK

I know this is a little bit different from the original purpose of this, but I feel that with the ability to preview words/sentences this tool could become a great font previewer, much better than Gnome Specimen for example.

Now we uses the PostScript name(ID 6).

But maybe Family(ID 1) + SubFamily(ID 2) is a better option? Or if there a (de-facto) standard for this?

USAGE:

FLAGS:
    -h, --help       Prints help information
    -p, --preview    Preview character use supported fonts in browser
    -t, --tui        Enable Terminal UI mode enable this mode will disable the --preview/-p and ignore --verbose/-v arg
    -V, --version    Prints version information
    -v, --verbose    Verbose mode, show all font styles

ARGS:
    <CHAR>    The character

Just show help when args are empty could be better

So having a problem in one terminal where it wasn't rendering "" but in another it was. Just a font "path" issue. Either way I found out I have lots of options. but --preview doesn't really tell me what I'm looking at, and neither does --tui. What I'd really like is for tui to just show me the character as it would appear in the terminal in that font (if possible). Even better would be to be able to see them all at once, like if using --verbose just show me it as it would appear in that font at that size.

not only load system fonts, also support custom font dirs

Sometimes we can see lots of font face, for example run with character a.

We need a way to filter font faces we interested, both in normal list output and tui mode.

tui is unmaintained; use ratatui instead

The tui crate is no longer maintained.

Consider using the ratatui crate instead.

Pretty self-explanatory:

error: could not compile `fontfor` (bin "fontfor") due to 1 previous error

Please consider setting up some sort of CI system if you'd like to use #[deny(warnings)], so that this kind of problem gets caught before it gets into someone else's CI (in my case, NixOS's Hydra, which produces a build log like this).

We only get glyph outline(glyf, CFF, CFF2), not any kind of glyph data table like bitmap/image/color/svg.

So there may be some font face which supports asked character, but the tui preview show empty result. But many fonts also provided a outline as fallback, so it's not very likely to happen.

Therefore, personally I consider it a low priority issue . If you meet this, feel free to comment here.

Consider providing binray release with github actions 🍰

We use ASCII character in terminal as canvas pixel. Normally, the character w/h radio will around 1:2 for most fonts.

Render code should consider this, maybe repeat each character is good enough, a better option is set the right scale factor in rasterization step.

I went ahead and created an AUR package for Arch Linux users. I hope you don't mind.

If you're an Arch user, I don't mind making you a maintainer/co-maintainer.

Cheers.

The Kitty graphics protocol is an open standard for displaying graphics in the terminal, similar to sixels, but not color-palette limited, and comparatively easier to implement, both by TEs and applications.

I'd like to add support for the protocol. Would such support be upstreamed?
