sigma console fonts 0.5 (Default branch)
The sigma console fonts are a set of UTF-8 fontswhich provide readability and wide coverage. Theyinclude the "master" bdf file and screen font map(.sfm) files to control what goes into aparticular 'psfu' font, so you can change theappearance of a glyph or create a selectionspecific to your needs. For many people, the'general' map will cover your needs, but there area number of other maps, including african,caucasian, cyrillic (primarily for all livelanguages using a cyrillic alphabet), andvietnamese. The bdf font itself is public domain,derived from etl16.License: BSD License (revised)Changes:
Ellipses have been added to the main screen fonts to support trac 0.11. The form of lowercase 'g' has been improved. The default for fonts and docs is now both /usr/local. Double-quotes have been corrected to the normal form. 'eth' has been reshaped. There are corrections to some of the example alphabets. A patch has been applied to correct the bdf file so that bdftopcf will work with it.Image

ucs2any(1)						      General Commands Manual							ucs2any(1)

NAME

       ucs2any - generate BDF fonts containing subsets of ISO 10646-1 codepoints

SYNOPSIS

       ucs2any [ +d | -d ] source-name { mapping-file registry-encoding } ...

DESCRIPTION

       ucs2any	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).

OPERANDS

       source-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.

EXAMPLE

       The 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 DIRECTIONS

       Hopefully  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.
