Before You Ship a Font, Check What Is Actually Inside It

Need to Inspect a Font File's Metadata?

Font Inspector in the browser

You downloaded a font and you are not sure what is inside it. Is it a variable font? How many glyphs does it contain? What OpenType features are supported? You could install it and guess, or you could inspect the file directly before committing to it.

OnliTools Font Inspector

OnliTools Font Inspector reads font metadata, glyph counts, metrics, and Unicode coverage directly in your browser. Upload a TTF, OTF, WOFF, or WOFF2 file and get a detailed breakdown without installing anything.

How to Use It

Working with the controls

  1. Go to onlitools.com/font-inspector.
  2. Upload your font file.
  3. Review the metadata: glyph count, metrics, Unicode ranges, OpenType tables.
  4. Decide whether the font meets your needs before installing it.

Great For

  • Developers — verify Unicode coverage and glyph counts before adding a font to a project
  • Designers — inspect font metrics and features without installing every candidate
  • Font buyers — audit purchased fonts to confirm they match the description

Wrap Up

The result, ready to use

No install, no font manager, no upload to a server. OnliTools Font Inspector shows you what is inside a font file before you commit to using it.
