About Glyphmeter: Font Inspector

Glyphmeter is a font inspector for designers, developers and type lovers. Import your own font files or open any font installed on your iPhone or iPad, and see exactly what is inside: names, metrics, tables, variation axes, OpenType features, character coverage and licensing flags. Everything runs on the device.
