PSFADDTABLE (1)

SYNOPSIS

psfaddtable fontfile tablefile [outfile]

DESCRIPTION

"psfaddtable command" "" "\fLpsfaddtable\fR command"

psfaddtable takes a console font in .psf format given by fontfile and merges it with the Unicode character table given by tablefile to produce a font file with an embedded character table, which is written to outfile if given, or else to standard output. Either fontfile or outfile (but not both) can be replaced by a single dash (-) to read from standard input instead. 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. The first number on each line indicates 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. It is permissible to have multiple lines for the same glyph.
