Comparison of glyphs

Comparing the same glyph rendered by different fonts can be useful for both work and study. To add a font to the list for comparison, click its face in Browse Fonts, then go to the Compare tab and click Add.

Available options:

  • Show toggles visibility of the glyph rendering for the currently selected font.

  • Fill chooses one of the predefined fills, or None.

  • Points renders the glyph's outline points; Controls renders the control points.

  • Metrics renders baseline and em size.

  • Offset moves a glyph horizontally so several glyphs can be lined up without stacking.

  • Keep in sync ensures all fonts show the same character. Disable it to compare different glyphs of the same font.
