GlyphProof is an InDesign script that creates a document showing the glyphs of a typeface in all weights and styles. Pick a type family and a range of glyph IDs (GID) and let InDesign display it on a page.

The script comes with three options

• Print Weights and Styles: Will show a list of all weights and styles of the given typeface
• Insert Linebreak: Creates a new line for every glyph ID.
• Show GID Number: Prints the gylph ID number

For every weight/style there is a InDesign Character Style created, also for the divider glyph, which you could change in the next step.

Note: The more weights and styles a type family has, and the more glyph IDs are selected, the longer the calculation can take. This can become a performance test, try Acumin Variable Concept…

If you need the number of glyphs in a fontfile use FontDrop!
