The FONTTABLE package

2026-04-19 v1.6e

Issue tracker: https://github.com/LaTeX-Package-Repositories/herries-press/issues/

Licence: LPPL https://www.latex-project.org/lppl.txt


The fonttable package enables you to print a table of the characters
in a font (a font table), and/or some example text, and/or individual
glyphs in a variety of settings.

This, in a package form, is a poor man's version of nfssfont.tex and
testfont.tex.
