Hi everyone, this has probably been asked before: how can I use the Lua font loading mechanism to inspect an OTF font? I'm mainly interested in retrieving glyph data such as its shape or kerning properties... please advise :-) Many thanks, Oliver

Hi everyone,
this has probably been asked before: how can I use the Lua font loading mechanism to inspect an OTF font? I'm mainly interested in retrieving glyph data such as its shape or kerning properties... please advise :-) It's not an answer to your mail, but I find showttf from fontforge to compare results of my luatex script about fonts showttf it's in cvs tree, see http://fontforge.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/fontforge/fontforge/fonttools/
