psf2ams(1) PSF Tools psf2ams(1) NAME psf2ams - convert a PC Screen Font file to an Amstrad CP/M font SYNOPSIS psf2ams [-ems=EMSFILE] [INPUTFILE [OUTPUTFILE]] DESCRIPTION psf2ams converts a font in the .PSF format to a font that can be used under Amstrad CP/M or LocoScript 1. For best results the font should be at most 8 pixels by 8. The font can be output either as a .COM file (which loads the associated font when run) or a .EMS file (based on a standard CP/M or LocoScript 1 .EMS file). It is also possible to load PCW fonts on a PCW using LOADPSF.COM or by converting to a raw font with psf2raw(1) and using SETFONT.COM, but for those distributing a new font, a self-contained .COM file may be more convenient. The .COM files generated by psf2ams will run under CP/M on the CPC, PCW, PcW16 and Spectrum +3. They will also fail gracefully rather than crash if run under PCDOS. If the font has more than 256 characters, then on the Spectrum +3 the first 256 will be loaded to the 8x8 font, and the second 256 (or what- ever is left) to the 8x5 font. If you don't want this, use psfxform(1) to reduce the font to 256 characters before passing it to psf2ams(1). OPTIONS --ems=template Output a .EMS file, using the provided CP/M or LocoScript 1 .EMS file as a template. BUGS not work, owing to the different order in which the font is stored.
