Unicode Glyph Checker

This Python script allows you to check and display all available glyphs in a given font file. It provides information about each glyph, including its Unicode code point, character representation, and name.

Features

• Loads and analyzes TrueType (.ttf) and OpenType (.otf) font files
• Displays a list of all available glyphs in the font
• Shows Unicode code point, character, and name for each glyph
• Provides a total count of available glyphs

Requirements

• Python 3.6+
• fonttools library
• bdflib

Installation

1. Clone this repository or download the pycharmap-unicode.py file.

2. Install the required library:

pip install fonttools

Usage

Run the script from the command line, providing the path to the font file as an argument:

python pycharmap-unicode.py <font_file_path>

For example:

python pycharmap-unicode.py Monocraft.ttf

Output

The script will display a list of all available glyphs in the following format:

========================================
U+0020 |   | SPACE
U+0021 | ! | EXCLAMATION MARK
U+0022 | " | QUOTATION MARK
...
========================================
Total available glyphs: X

Where:

• U+XXXX is the Unicode code point
• The character between | symbols is the glyph itself
• The text after the second | is the Unicode name of the character

Note

Some characters may not display correctly in your terminal if it doesn't support them or if you're using a font that doesn't include those glyphs.
