@drawBot First, make sure you have Python 3.11 installed.
```
python --version
```
Then, install the proofing tools using
```
pip3 install git+https://github.com/adobe-type-tools/drawBotProofing.git
```
You can now use the following commands:
```
accent-proof
alphabet-proof
charset-proof
context-proof
figure-spacing-proof
glyph-proof
glyphset-proof
overlay-proof
reference-proof
text-proof
unicode-chart-proof
vertical-metrics-comparison-proof
vertical-metrics-proof
waterfall-proof
```

@drawBot `unicode-chart-proof` – a contribution by my esteemed colleague Joshua Hadley. 🥰 Create character charts similar to those appearing in The Unicode® Standard, but using the supplied font (and only the characters present in the font). With some nice details like PDF bookmarks, and VF support!
