ucs2any(1) General Commands Manual ucs2any(1)NAMEucs2any - generate BDF fonts containing subsets of ISO 10646-1 codepointsSYNOPSISucs2any [ +d | -d ] source-name { mapping-file registry-encoding } ...DESCRIPTIONucs2any allows one to generate from an ISO 10646-1 encoded BDF font other BDF fonts in any possible encoding. This way, one can derive from a single ISO 10646-1 master font a whole set of 8-bit fonts in all ISO 8859 and various other encodings.OPTIONS+d puts DEC VT100 graphics characters in the C0 range (default for upright, character-cell fonts). -d omits DEC VT100 graphics characters from the C0 range (default for all font types except upright, character-cell fonts).OPERANDSsource-name is the name of an ISO 10646-1 encoded BDF file. mapping-file is the name of a character set table like those at <ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/>. These files can also typically be found installed in the /usr/share/fonts/X11/util directory. registry-encoding are the CHARSET_REGISTRY and CHARSET_ENCODING field values for the font name (XLFD) of the target font, separated by a hyphen. Any number of mapping-file and registry-encoding operand pairs may be specified.EXAMPLEThe command ucs2any 6x13.bdf 8859-1.TXT iso8859-1 8859-2.TXT iso8859-2 will generate the files 6x13-iso8859-1.bdf and 6x13-iso8859-2.bdf.FUTURE DIRECTIONSHopefully a future release will have a facility similar to ucs2any built into the server, and reencode ISO 10646-1 on the fly, because storing the same fonts in many different encodings is clearly a waste of storage capacity.SEE ALSObdftruncate(1)AUTHORucs2any was written by Markus Kuhn.
