txt2psf(1) PSF Tools txt2psf(1) NAME txt2psf - compile a PC Screen Font file from a textual description SYNOPSIS txt2psf [--psf1] [--psf2] [INPUTFILE [OUTPUTFILE]] DESCRIPTION txt2psf converts an ASCII source file to a font in the .PSF format. INPUT FILE FORMAT The source file is composed of a header, followed by a series of char- acter definitions. The first line of the header must be "%PSF2"; it is followed by these fields, each on a separate line, in any order: Version: nnn File format version; currently this must be 0. Flags: nnn This is 1 if the font should include a Unicode table, else 0. Length: nnn The number of characters in this font. If it is too low, the ex- tra characters will be ignored. Too high, and the extras will be left blank. Width: nnn The width of a character cell. Height: nnn The height of a character cell. After the header, character definitions follow. Each character defini- tion starts as a "%" on a line by itself. It is then followed by two fields, in any order. Bitmap: bitmapdata The bitmap is composed of width*height cells, each of which is either a '-' (zero) or a '#' (black). Whitespace is ignored. The bitmap can be spread over several lines; the bitmaps created by psf2txt(1) are, for example. Unicode: unicodestring This describes the Unicode characters this bitmap represents. It is formed "[single];[sing]e];...[sequence];[sequence];..." where single is a single hexadecimal number, and sequence is two or more hexadecimal numbers separated by + signs. So "[41];" is an example of a single character, and "[00B4+0065];" is an example of a sequence. If the bitmap doesn't represent any Unicode char- acters this field may be blank or simply missing. OPTIONS --psf1 Force the resulting file to be in PSF1 format. --psf2 Force the resulting file to be in PSF2 format. BUGS The file format is too rigid, and the parser (such as it is) a quick hack. The "Length:" header should not be necessary; txt2psf should be able to calculate the file size itself. SEE ALSO psf2txt(1) AUTHOR John Elliott <seasip.webmaster@gmail.com>.
