## Inspector

We are using Fonttools, which ttx format is a clear xml dump of every table present in a (variable) font. See https://github.com/fonttools/fonttools

Our tailor-made inspector web tool displays the content of ttx files, simply "Load the ttx file" then select the glyph to preview in the dropdown menu.
