Font table
4+
==========
5+
6+
Matplotlib's font support is provided by the FreeType library.
7+
8+
Here, we use `~.Axes.table` build a font table that shows the glyphs by Unicode
9+
codepoint, and print the glyphs corresponding to codepoints beyond 0xff.
10+
11+
Usage::
12+
python font_table_sgskip.py /path/to/font/file
