NAME

albatross - a tool for finding fonts that contain a given (Unicode) glyph.

SYNOPSIS

albatross [ options ] glyphs ...

DESCRIPTION

albatross is a command line tool for finding fonts that contain a given (Unicode) glyph. It relies on Fontconfig, a library for configuring and customizing font access.

Albatross takes a list of glyphs as input. Three formats are supported:

#1

The glyph itself, e.g., ß (Eszett). Internally, the tool converts it to the corresponding Unicode code point.

#2

The glyph as a Unicode code point in the hexadecimal notation, e.g., 0xDF . The 0x prefix is mandatory. Note that the tool takes the value as case insensitive, e.g., 0xDF is equal to 0xdf (or any case combination thereof).

#3

The glyph as a Unicode code point using the multiset union notation, e.g, U+DF . The U+ prefix is mandatory. Be mindful that this notation expects an uppercase U .
