NAME

       getunimap - dump the unicode map for the current console to stdout

SYNOPSIS

       getunimap [ -s ] [ -C console ]

DESCRIPTION

       The getunimap program is old and obsolete. It is now part of setfont (1).

       The getunimap program outputs the unicode map (also called a "Screen Font Map") for the current console to standard output.

       The  -C	option may be used with Linux 2.6.1 and later to get the map for a console different from the current one. Its argument is a path-
       name.

       The output of getunimap is of the form

		   0xAA U+1234 # comment

       where 0xAA is the font character code and U+1234 is a unicode character, that if displayed, will be displayed using glyph 0xAA in the font.
       Many unicode characters may be mapped to the same glyph.
       the Hash symbol # is used as a comment delimiter; characters after a hash sign (to the end of the line) are comments.

       The -s option will sort and merge elements, sorting on font character.  Hence, it will produce output of the form:

		   0x22 U+1234 U+5678 U+3456
		   0x23 U+0023

	    etc., listing the multiple unicode characters that map to a font glyph.

       The output of getunimap is of the form accepted by setfont and psfaddtable

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.
