34 .Op Fl f Ar font Ns | Ns Ar source Ns | Ns Ar compressed-source
36 .Op Fl o Ar output_file
44 utility reads source font files in either BDF or Unifont HEX format and
45 outputs a binary font file, C source, or C source with font data compressed
46 by using LZ4 compression method.
47 The output in C source is intended to be used to embed the font into program
49 The binary font file is for use by console system.
50 The BDF file must use character cell spacing.
51 HEX format files must have the file extension
54 The following options are available:
55 .Bl -tag -width "12345678"
56 .It Fl f Ar font Ns | Ns Ar source Ns | Ns Ar compressed-source
57 Specify the output format.
64 Font height is set automatically for BDF files that have a
66 property defined in the font header.
67 Font height is set automatically for HEX files that have a
68 .Ql # Height: Ar height
69 comment before any font data.
71 Do not apply output filtering with C source output.
72 .It Fl o Ar output_file
73 Specify the name for the output file.
75 Display verbose statistics about the converted font.
79 Font width is set automatically for BDF files that have a
81 property defined in the font header.
82 Font width is set automatically for HEX files that have a
84 comment before any font data.
