Hi,
I'd like to offer a window that shows all the characters (glyphs?) in a
selected file. I am not sure how best to do this. My first thought is to start a
loop at 0 and end it at 65 thousand (ish), turn the index into a character
(unicode) and then render it -- until there's some stop condition.
This seems clumsy. Any ideas?

Dunno - maybe peek at how FontLab/RoboFab do things?
