psfaddtable

PSFADDTABLE(1)						      General Commands Manual						    PSFADDTABLE(1)

NAME

       psfaddtable - add a Unicode character table to a console font

SYNOPSIS

       psfaddtable fontfile tablefile outfile

DESCRIPTION

       psfaddtable takes a console font in .psf format given by fontfile and merges it with the Unicode character table given by tablefile to pro-
       duce a font file with an embedded character table, which is written to outfile.	An input file name of "-" denotes standard input,  and	an
       output file name of "-" denotes standard output.  If the fontfile already contains an embedded character table, it is ignored.

TABLE FILE FORMAT

       Each  line  in  the tablefile should be either blank, contain a comment (preceded by #), or contain a sequence of numbers in either decimal
       (default), octal (preceded by 0), or hexadecimal (preceded by 0x) format, separated by spaces or tabs.  The first number on each line indi-
       cates  the  glyph  slot	in  the  font that is being referred to, this is between 0 and 0xff for a 256-character font and 0 and 0x1ff for a
       512-character font.  Any subsequent numbers on the same line are Unicodes matched by this specific glyph slot.  Instead of a single Unicode
       one may have a sequence of Unicodes separates by commas, to denote that the glyph depicts the corresponding composed symbol.  It is permis-
       sible to have multiple lines for the same glyph.
