How do you know what glyphs are in a font? Is there a tool that shows them?

    Fontforge comes to mind. But i fear that this has nothing to do with TeX and friends and is off-topic. – Johannes_B Nov 13 '14 at 09:13
  • I recommend Fontmatrix. But as Johannes_B said, this is off-topic. – ChrisS Nov 13 '14 at 09:34
  • On a Windows system, Nexus Font is a good choice. – Bernard Nov 13 '14 at 09:58

    Welcome to TeX.SX! Can you please clarify your question. Which type of fonts are you working with. For some fonts the fonttable package will give you a list of glyphs. – Andrew Swann Nov 13 '14 at 09:59

    Please give the OP a chance of improving his question before closing! – T. Verron Nov 13 '14 at 12:31
  • Is it not possible to wait for an OP feedback before closing? Maybe he will agree about the fact that the question has already an answer, but maybe he can provide additional details which make this a slightly different question. Don't worry: the closing bonus will still count 1, now, tomorrow or in few weeks.. – Claudio Fiandrino Nov 13 '14 at 14:12
  • @ClaudioFiandrino Maybe you should open a discussion on the Meta site for this. The OP's question is pretty clear. He wants to know how he can find out what glyphs a font has. Under the assumption he means a LaTeX font, then this question has been asked before, and already has an answer. I don't think duplicate questions should stay open (or be reopened) so that the OP can change the question to something else so that it isn't a duplicate anymore. Further discussion should go to the Meta site. – Sverre Nov 13 '14 at 14:49
  • @Sverre: That has already been discussed thousands of times. My point is not whether the question should be closed, but when. BTW: in general, if an OP makes clearer a question previously closed as duplicate and that question becomes a legitimate one, it totally deserves an answer. We are here to ask and answer, not to ask and close. – Claudio Fiandrino Nov 13 '14 at 15:01

From a terminal window, issue

pdftex fontchart

You'll be asked a TFM name, such as cmr10. The picture shows a fragment of what you get from ecrm1000:
