Font & Glyph Inspector

Local OpenType analysis

Inspect OpenType tables, preview glyphs and variable axes, test character coverage, compare fonts, and generate CSS.

See what is inside a font

Inspect TTF, OTF or WOFF metadata and tables, preview real glyphs and variation axes, test project coverage and compare two local fonts.

Font data remains local
Font bytes, metadata and glyph paths stay in this browser. Temporary FontFace resources are removed when the workspace resets.

How to use it

  1. 01

    Open a local font

    Verify the font signature and table directory before parsing names, metrics, features, variation axes and glyphs.

  2. 02

    Preview and test coverage

    Adjust typography and supported axes, inspect bounded glyph pages, and find missing characters in project text.

  3. 03

    Compare and integrate

    Compare another font, review embedding evidence, generate web CSS and export inspection or subset manifests.

Frequently asked questions

Which font formats work?

TTF, OTF and WOFF are parsed when supported by the local parser and browser. WOFF2 is detected explicitly but binary decoding is not bundled in this version.

Is a font uploaded?

No. Bytes, names, glyph paths and temporary FontFace previews remain in the browser and object URLs are revoked on reset.

Can the tool decide whether I may use a font?

No. It surfaces name-table license text, URLs and OS/2 embedding flags as evidence only. Copyright and licensing decisions require the actual license and qualified judgment.

Why export a subset manifest instead of a font?

Safe subsetting must preserve shaping and variation tables and honor licensing flags. The manifest lists exact characters and a reproducible fonttools command without pretending a lossy browser rewrite is safe.
