DESCRIPTION
ftvalid is an OpenType layout table validator.
This program is part of the FreeType demos package.
OPTIONS
- -f index
- Select font index (default: 0).
- -t validator
- Select validator. Available validators are ot, gx, and ckern.
- Note that the availability of validators depends on compile-time options of FreeType (this is, whether the modules `otvalid' and `gxvalid' are compiled into the library).

- Supported tables in ot validator are BASE, GDEF, GPOS, GSUB, JSTF, and MATH.
- Supported tables in gx validator are feat, mort, morx, bsln, just, kern, opbd, trak, prop, and lcar.
- Example: -T "feat:morx"
- -T dialect
- [ckern] Select classic kern dialect for validation. Use `:' to separate dialect names. If more than one dialect is specified, all dialects are accepted when validating.
- Supported dialects in ckern validator are ms and apple.
- -l
- List the layout-related SFNT tables available in the font file. The selected validator (with option -t) affects the list.
- ckern is applicable to `kern' table only. Option -L lists dialects supported in ckern validator only if `kern' table is available in the font file.
