Synopsis
psf2fnt [--ascent=ASC] [--bold] [--brkchar=CHAR] [--copy=COPYRIGHT] [--codepage=CODEPAGE] [--charset=CHARSET] [--defchar=DEFAULT] [--firstchar=FIRST] [--fontname=NAME] [--horzres=DPI] [--italic] [--lastchar=CHAR] [--pointsize=SIZE] [--version=FORMAT] [--vertres=DPI] [INPUTFILE [OUTPUTFILE]]
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.
