TrueType Explorer can do this and more. It will display the Unicode ranges supported by a font, and all the glyphs for a given range. It also displays Panose classification, Name strings, Kerning pairs and supported code pages.

Recently I was adding an IPA pronunciation to one of my Web pages, and wanted to insert a <font face="..."> tag to help select a font that would actually display the IPA. (Yes, I know style sheets are better than font-face. That isn't the point.) I found that many fonts that claim to support the "IPA Extensions" block actually support only a handful of characters in that block, such as U+02D9 DOT ABOVE, and I had to plug each font one-by-one into Character Map (or the Web page) to find those that would display my text. So I'd like to know if there is an easier way to find out which fonts support character X, or failing that, if the OT and TT specs are written in such a way that I could write my own program to do this. -Doug Ewell Fullerton, California
