Project description
UniCover is a simple command-line tool displaying information about Unicode coverage of system fonts. It should work on systems that utilize Fontconfig (Linux and other Unix-like).
Dependencies: Python-fontconfig, freetype-py.
Installation
In most cases issuing the following command will be sufficient:
pip3 install --user --pre UniCoverIf you get an error from Python Fontconfig library, try installing it system-wide first, eg. for Debian or Ubuntu:
sudo apt install python3-fontconfigUsage
