I am wondering if there is any easy / possible way to create a "font preview image" file for a given font file on the Linux command line. You know, like when you click on a font file in Linux or Windows file explorer and you get a little font preview window with "The quick brown fox jumps overs the lazy dog" in different sizes etc. The input font file would be . PFB (Adobe type 1 font) or .

TTF (TrueType font). So, for example: createfontpreviewimage somefont. Pfb which creates somefontpreview.

Png or whatever Any thoughts? Or will I have to go down the hard work route of embedding the font file in a PDF document and generating the preview as a PDF document with PDFLib or some such? THank you.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
