ftxdiff: Include glyph names in output.
$ ftxdiff --include-glyph-names
try on your machine

The command "ftxdiff --include-glyph-names" is used to compare two fonts and generate a report that includes the names of the different glyphs present in each font.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "ftxdiff" is the name of the command-line tool being executed. It is typically used for comparing and analyzing font files.
  • "--include-glyph-names" is an option or flag provided to the "ftxdiff" command. This option specifies that the generated report should include the names of the different glyphs found in both fonts being compared.

By running this command, you will obtain a report that lists the names of the glyphs that are different between the two provided fonts. This can help identify any inconsistencies, missing or extra glyphs in the fonts, aiding in font debugging, design comparisons, or font quality assessments.
