> Adjustment/improvement to the default placement of the "decimal numbers"
> aligned next to each glyph in the font tables. This will change (not
> seriously) the output of documents compiled with previous versions of
> this package.

> If necessary, this change can be reversed with the new generalisation

fonttable – Print font tables from a LaTeX document
This is a package version of nfssfont.tex (part of the LaTeX distribution); it enables you to print a table of the characters of a font and/or some text (for demonstration or testing purposes), from within a document. (Packages such as testfont and nfssfont.tex provide these facilities, but they run as interactive programs: the user is expected to type details of what is needed.)
Note that the package mftinc also has a \fonttable function; the documentation explains how avoid a clash with that package.
