albatross [options] glyphs...
Description
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. Two formats are supported:
- #1
The glyph itself, e.g, Ć (Eszett). Internally, the tool will convert it to the corresponding Unicode code point.
- #2
The glyph as a Unicode code point in the hexadecimal notation, e.g,
0xDF
. The0x
prefix is mandatory. Note that the tool takes the value as case insensitive, e.g,0xDF
is equal to0xdf
(or any case combination thereof).
