Comparing glyph widths using AFDK?

Hi everyone,

I'd like to use AFDK to compare the glyph widths between two fonts: a revised version, and it's original. I need an easy way to list which glyphs have been modified in the newest revision. If there's a way to do this without using AFDK that would also be useful. I'm new to AFDK so please bear that in mind when responding.

Thanks in advance.

The tx tool is your friend. Try using its -mtx option.

DTL CompareMaster is a small application for comparing the contour-descriptions, widths, and hinting of glyphs from OpenType CFF and PS Type1 fonts.
