NAME
xudced - user-defined character editor
SYNOPSIS
xudced [udc_file [WIDTHxHEIGHT]]
DESCRIPTION
xudced is an editor that creates, modifies, and deletes user-defined characters (UDC). It uses bitmap(1) to edit UDC character patterns.
Character patterns from existing HP Asian fonts can be modified to create UDCs. xudced runs on the X Window System, Version 11.
If udc_file is not specified, the file $HOME/.nlio_udc is read.
WIDTHxHEIGHT sets the size of UDC pattern. This can be specified by the udc_width and the udc_height resources. If it is not specified,
24x24 is used.
Menu
Functions are selected with pull-down menus. To select a function, move the mouse pointer to the menu header. Press and hold the left
mouse button. A pull-down menu appears. Drag the mouse pointer down to the desired function and release the mouse button.
Functions with the ... suffix invoke a pop-up box that requests further information.
The following functions are available:

the UDCs before exiting. Click no to exit without saving. Click cancel to abort the function.
