# t1testpage(1)

create a PostScript proof for a Type 1 font

## NAME

t1testpage - create a PostScript proof for a Type 1 font

## SYNOPSIS

**t1testpage** \[*font...*\]

## DESCRIPTION

**T1testpage** creates a PostScript proof document for the specified Type 1 font file and writes it to the standard output. The proof shows every glyph in the font, including its glyph name and encoding. The *font* argument should be the name of a PFA or PFB font file. If more than one *font* is given, the output proof contains all the fonts in order. If *font* is omitted, t1testpage will read a font file from the standard input.

T1testpage is preliminary software.

## OPTIONS

- **-g** *glyphs*, **--glyph=***glyphs*

  Print only glyphs matching *glyphs*. The argument is a glyph pattern, using shell-like matching rules; thus, **-g** 'A\*' will match the glyphs 'A', 'Atilde', and 'Ampersand', among others.  You can give this option multiple times, or supply multiple space-separated patterns in a single option.

- **-s**, **--smoke**

  Print smoke proofs, one glyph per page.  This option is preliminary.

- **-o** *file*, **--output=***file*

  Write the output proof to *file* instead of the standard output.

- **-h**, **--help**

  Print usage information and exit.

- **-v**, **--version**

  Print the version number and some short non-warranty information and exit.
