I need to view an icon.ttf (svg,woff,eot,whatever) font file. I do NOT want to create CSS to do this. There are hundreds of icons and I need to look at them quickly. Is there anything I can use to open the font file?

The only responses are along this vein: If I have a generated icon-font as TTF, can I tell which CSS content-property belongs to which character? and include CSS - that is NOT what I am looking for. I want to preview the file NOT through manual entry using CSS (or SASS, etc).

I am assuming this cannot be done since I havent found a decent answer. If you have the knowledge for how to preview an icon font, please share!!

  • Do you have access to the font locally? – Madness Aug 05 '15 at 18:56
  • Are you talking about a programmatic way of viewing an icon file? Because otherwise, this doesn't seem to be on-topic according to [help/on-topic]. – Heretic Monkey Aug 05 '15 at 20:28
  • I don't know what you mean by programmatic. In windows or Mac you can click on a font and see how it looks. With icons it just shows the quick brown fox text as a San serif. I want to see it as icons. – tiffylou Aug 06 '15 at 21:18
  • A friend is telling me that if there is no answer to this that I should put it on super users. But I wasn't sure if there was actually no programmatic answer to this. – tiffylou Aug 06 '15 at 21:21

You could use the Character Map tool in Windows. Just select the icon font and you can preview the entire list as well as the corresponding css codes.
