Description

psf2fnt saves some or all characters from a .PSF font as a Windows  font-resource file, as used by the Windows SDK tool FONTEDIT. The  resulting file can then be processed with fnts2fon(1) to create an installable font.

Options

--ascent

Sets the distance from the baseline to the top of the character. This defaults to the height of the font, minus 1.

--bold

Marks the resulting font as bold.

--brkchar=nnn

Sets the index of the character used to print word breaks. Defaults to 32 (space).

--charset=charset

Sets the character set of the resulting font. This can be one of the words  ANSI, OEM or SYMBOL; or a numeric value.

--codepage=x

Extracts only the characters in the given codepage (requires the source PSF file to have a Unicode directory). Any characters in the codepage not present in the source font are replaced by blanks. The codepage can be specified by number or name; see psfpages(1) for a list of acceptable  codepage names.

--copy=string

Sets the copyright string in the resulting font. Note that spaces will have to be escaped to hide them from the shell.

--defchar=nnn

Sets the index of the character used to display out-of-range characters.  Defaults to 46 (full stop).

--first=n

Extracts characters starting at the specified character.

--fontname=name

Sets the name of the output font.

--horzres=nnn

Sets the horizontal resolution of the font in DPI. Defaults to 48.

--italic

Marks the font as italic.

--last=n

Extracts characters up to and including the specified character.

--pointsize=n

Sets the font point size. This defaults to the font height in pixels.

--version=n

Sets the file format version. This can be 1, 2 or 3. Version 1.0.8uld only be  used if you are creating a font for Windows 1.0. Version 1.0.8uld be used if  the font is less than 64k in size; otherwise, use Version 3.

If a codepage and a range of characters are both specified, the range is applied to the subset of characters extracted by the codepage.
