[Indic-computing-users] Font info extraction

[jitendra <jit...@vs...>]

Dear Sayamindu
We apologise that we are new to this area and hence need some help.
We are trying to convert akruti fonts to otf fonts using volt.
We also have raghu.ttf font with us. We would like to compare these two
Fonts  w.r.t
1) no.of glyphs
2) substitution rules
3) positioning rules

 however volt supports opening of only one font at a time

i) so we would like to know if there is any other tool which will allow
us to compare   the two fonts simultaneously?

 ii)  is there any way to print the tables in a font ?(substitution
rules,positioning etc.)

iii) we have opened a ttf font in ms-word
      it showed the font details like glyph id,Unicode no.,rules etc
      is there a way (free tools)  to extract these  information from
the font.ttf file?
