psf2bsd - Man Page
convert a PC Screen Font file to a BSD soft-font kernel header
Synopsis
psf2bsd [--name=NAME] [--typeface=NAME] [--encoding=ENC] [--first=FIRST] [--last=LAST] [INPUTFILE [OUTPUTFILE]]
Description
psf2bsd converts a font in the .PSF format to the format used by the NetBSD 'wsfont' kernel headers.
Options
- --name=NAME
Sets the name of the C structure that will contain the font. This defaults to 'font'. For example, --name=bold8x16
- --typeface=NAME
Sets the displayed name of the typeface. For example, --name=Boldface
- --encoding=ENC
Sets the encoding to use. This should be one of the WSDISPLAY_FONTENC_* macros. For convenience, you can also use --encoding=437 as shorthand for WSDISPLAY_FONTENC_IBM and --encoding=819 for WSDISPLAY_FONTENC_ISO.
- --first=FIRST
Sets the first character to include in the output file.
- --last=LAST
Sets the last character to include in the output file.
Bugs
For anything other than the simplest test cases, horizontal alignment of the output will almost certainly look untidy.
