A lightweight GTK4 font file viewer

# About

tiny-font-viewer is a fork of gnome-font-viewer, stripped down to its essentials.

It is a simple utility tool for viewing individual font files,

without the overhead of listing all installed fonts on the system.

# Features

 * Show sample text rendering and font information

 * Supports viewing of individual font files (TTF, OTF, etc.)

 * Supports font collections (TTC)

 * Built using GTK4, without dependencies on GNOME or libadwaita

# Usage

 * Using the GUI: Open tiny-font-viewer, then select File > Open from the menu

   and choose the font file you want to view.

 * From the command line: Execute `tiny-font-viewer FONTFILE`,

 replacing FONTFILE with the path to the font file you want to view.

 * Using the desktop file: If you have installed

   `io.github.cat-in-136.tiny-font-viewer.desktop` file,

   you can also open a font file by double-clicking on it in your file viewer,

   or by running `xdg-open FONTFILE`.
