|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
convfont \- convert font files for svgalib
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
.BI convfont " fontfile fontheight vgafontfile"
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
convert the standard format binary fontfile name
|
|
.I fontfile
|
|
to the codepage format required by
|
|
.BR restorefont (1).
|
|
The converted font is written to
|
|
.IR vgafontfile .
|
|
|
|
A binary font file of any number of characters up to 256 can be used, although
|
|
at least defining the first 128 characters is a good idea. The
|
|
.I fontheight
|
|
must be in the range
|
|
.BR 1 " - " 32 .
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
.I fontfile
|
|
file consist of
|
|
.I fontheight
|
|
bytes stored sequentially (top to bottom) for each character in your
|
|
font, starting with the character with code 0.
|
|
|
|
The format of
|
|
.I vgafontfile
|
|
is that required by
|
|
.BR restorefont (1)
|
|
and described there.
|
|
|
|
This utility is part of svgalib and can be found in the
|
|
.I utils/
|
|
subdirectory of the original svgalib distribution. However, it is not installed
|
|
by default, s.t. it is unclear where you can find it if your svgalib was install
|
|
linux distribution.
|
|
|
|
In case of any such problem, simply get an svgalib distribution from the net. You
|
|
don't need to install it. Just
|
|
.B make
|
|
in the
|
|
.I utils/
|
|
subdirecty. As of this writing,
|
|
.I svgalib-1.2.12.tar.gz
|
|
is the latest version and can be retrieved by ftp from
|
|
.IR "sunsite.unc.edu" " at " "/pub/Linux/libs/graphics"
|
|
and
|
|
.IR "tsx-11.mit.edu" " at " "/pub/linux/sources/libs"
|
|
which will most probably be mirrored by a site close to you.
