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

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/
