ALBATROSS(1)                General Commands Manual               ALBATROSS(1)

NAME
       albatross - a tool for finding fonts that contain a given (Unicode)
       glyph.

SYNOPSIS
       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.  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.
