Font analyzer that prints glyphs, config errors, etc
I have tried using otfinfo, fontbakery, and ftxvalidator, all of which offer partial information of the font, as well as some errors. fontbakery has to the most, as it wraps ftxvalidator and some others, but it still doesn't list the glyphs or print out very helpful error messages. A lot of the error messages are that the code itself in fontbakery threw an error, because of some error in the font, so it will say "Unknown method Fontbakery#foo" when really it means "A glyph named a is not found". So it's unhelpful.
Wondering what the other tools are for testing fonts, and ideally getting the glyph data out of them. I have seem Microsofts abandoned validator but don't really trust installing that, but maybe there are other tools. I am on a Mac so Homebrew would make it easy.
