ftdump - simple font dumper
ftgamma - screen gamma calibration helper
ftgrid - simple glyph grid viewer

ftpatchk - tests whether patented hinting is necessary
ftstring - string viewer (displays text in specified font)

Most of the commands have man pages. Also most of the commands show
usage info if you run them with --help (or with no arguments).
