glyphs...
albatross is a command line tool for finding fonts that contain a given
(Unicode) glyph. It relies on Fontconfig, a library for configuring and
customizing font access.
Albatross takes a list of glyphs as input. Three formats are supported:
- #1
- The glyph itself, e.g., ß (Eszett).
Internally, the tool converts it to the corresponding Unicode code
point.
- #2
- The glyph as a Unicode code point in the hexadecimal
notation, e.g., 0xDF. The 0x prefix is mandatory. Note that
the tool takes the value as case insensitive, e.g., 0xDF is equal
to 0xdf (or any case combination thereof).
- #3
- The glyph as a Unicode code point using the multiset union
notation, e.g, U+DF. The U+ prefix is mandatory. Be mindful
that this notation expects an uppercase U.
