You know me and my latest LaTeX binge... so I couldn't help but looking up a TeX-based solution.

Having read this, sweetie, I can't quite decide between kissing you and smacking you in the kisser. Old people, my nearly-geriatric butt! Although, ahem, I do have to say, the "old people" one is mo' bettah. (Yup, there I go again. Faux-patois. Would that be Fauxtois? I'm fauxtoising along. Gosh, I hope people can distinguish "Fauxtois" from "Fatwah.")

Here is a way to generate a glyph map of a given font by just go through all the Unicode points:

It was easy as pie. I was able to generate a glyph map PDF within seconds. All I had to do was feed it the name of the font.
I attached a few sample PDFs I made using the code from the above link:
- Charis SIL
- Also a special one with larger font size. Tagged it with "[OldPeople]" just for you.
- DejaVu Sans
- Gentium Plus
- Linux Libertine O
- Segoe UI Symbol
- Times New Roman
They aren't the prettiest, but I guess it gets the job done in my book.
Hopefully I understood all this rambling correctly?

This is rather brill, although my brain still shies away from the idea of creating a glyph map for...what, 1400 fonts? Yikes. Hmmmm...I wonder if I could run something like that in a batch process?
(OMG, I've just lost my mind. I can't even believe I'm discussing this. Whatever happened to my life with Caecilia, TNR...?)
Thanks, Tex. It's
excellent to know this. And of course, I mooched your Glyph maps.
Best,
Hitch
