Can I view the repertoire for fonts without installing them?

I want to be able to compare the full repertoire (all the characters) in fonts without installing them in my system. As far as I can tell there is no way to do this in font book. Please let me know if there is a way.
FYI - The reason I want to do this is that I am trying to compare different versions of the same font with different character support (eg. Latin 1 vs WGL). At the moment I keep having to delete and then reinstall the font, which isn't great.

Font pilot seems to only show the first 256 characters so that's not useful.
Font forge = massively painful to install
Fontlab = $600
Both have 100 times more features than I actually need.
When I install the same font as one that is already installed using font book it doesn't create multiple instances. It must over write. It's hard to know what it's doing actually because it behaves in a buggy way, it doesn't seem to refresh the information at first, but if I quit and check again then the character set changes. I can't really trust what I'm looking at.
I guess I'll probably just persevere with the font forge installation instructions. (why doesn't somebody just package up an installer for it?)

    Hi headshot, <br /> Sorry you are having problems.
    Are you seeing any error message or notification ? <br />If so what ?
    If the page fails to load try clearing Reloading with the Ctrl F5 shortcut to force loading without the old new cached files. If that does not help try cache and clearing cookies for that site.

    * [[Delete cookies to remove the information websites have stored on your computer#w_delete-cookies-for-a-single-site]]_delete-cookies-for-a-single-site
    Reload the webpage while bypassing the cache using '''one''' of the following steps:
    *Hold down the ''Shift'' key and click the ''Reload'' button with a left click.
    OR
    *Press ''Ctrl'' + ''F5'' or ''Ctrl'' + ''Shift'' + ''R'' (Windows and Linux)
    *Press ''Command'' + ''Shift'' + ''R'' (Mac)
    Let us know if this solves the issues you are having.
    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
    Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
    To clear cache and cookies do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
    #Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
    #Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
    #From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
    #Now click the ''Clear now'' button.

  • Can not view the code for views, triggers or table definition

    Hello Gurus,
    I can not see the code for any of the triggers, views, tables etc. in sql developer. For instance a view code will be
    "create or replace" and then nothing, I could see the code in the past.
    When clicking on SQL tab for table I get following errors
    1. Ora-00904 Invalid Column name
    2. Ora-31600: invalid input value emit_schema for parameter name in function SET_TRANSFORM_PARAMORA-06512: at SYs.DBMS_SYS_ERROR............................
    please advice.
    Thanks

    Sqldev was only certified starting from 9.0.2, so it's possible that's the culprit. The latest update in the certification document even omits 9i entirely.
    Did it start happening after upgrading sqldev? What version are you on?

  • How can I view the code for a routine in an update rule

    on loading data for 0PLANT_ATTR, I am getting an error for No Local Currency found in Plant 1000 and SAles Org 6000. 
    in looking at the update rules for this, I see that there is a routine for the update of the local currency:
    Perform GET_LOCCURRCY_FOR_PLANT
    USING COMM_STRUCTURE-PLANT
    COMM_STRUCTURE-SALESORG
    CHANGING hlp_monitor
    RESULT
    hlp_subrc.
    How do I see the code behind this?  I want to make sure that I understand everything that needs to be populated in Master Data so that I can ask my functional consultant to update all the necessary fields.
    Thanks
    JP

    Hi Riccardo,
    When I double click on it, I get a message at the bottom that says program reindexed. 
    After looking again, I found that when I double clicked on the comm structure, then the routine, I was able to see it.
    Thanks

  • How can I view the timeline for a event

    I'm a bit of a newbie in iMovie 10 and don't seem to be able to find a way to turn on a timeline display for a Project. In other words, if I want to start a clip at 11:54 and end it at 13:10, where can I see that information? Shouldn't there be a continuous display showing me where I am in a Project?
    Many thanks for any help.

    Hello BocaBoy
    You should see the timeline in the middle of the window and it will be above the string of clips for your movie that you are currently making. For the events and the collection of clips, you will need to import them in and then trim down or you can select the section of the clip and drag in down to the timeline. Check out the articles below to go over using iMovie.

  • Deploying/setting fonts without installing them?

    I have a TrueType font file, but I want to deploy it with my JAR file. Is it possible to include the font in my JAR, use Class.getResource() to get the font file's URL and somehow load it into my program? I know that all my clients will be using Windows, but I don't want to have to put my font file into C:/Windows/Fonts to be able to use it. Is there a way I can do this?

  • How can I view the details of a pending plan change?

    I received a flyer saying I could probably save some money if I came in and changed plans. I went to my local Verizon store and met with an associate who set me up with a new plan to start next billing cycle. He didn't give me any paperwork and I can only find the details for the current plan. How can I view the details for the new one?

    Hello pitviper1091!
    I apologize that you did not receive a receipt in the store. You cannot view a future dated plan change on My Verizon, until the date that it goes into effect. It should go into effect on your new bill cycle. You could return to the store to request a copy of the paperwork, or we could assist you in checking your account to confirm what changes will occur.

    If you mean backed up as part of an iPhone backup in iTunes?  If so, you would have to use 3rd party software to extract them from the backup, such as iPhone Backup Extractor.
