fnts2fon(1) PSF Tools fnts2fon(1) NAME fnts2fon - Construct a Windows .FON file from one or more .FNT files SYNOPSIS fnts2fon [--fontid=IDSTRING] [--winver=MAJOR.MINOR] [other options...] INPUTFILE [INPUTFILE ...] OUTPUTFILE DESCRIPTION fnts2fon attempts to combine one or more Windows FNT files into a FON file. This procedure is shrouded in darkness and mystery, dimly illu- minated by the Microsoft Knowledge Base article <http://support.mi- crosoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q76/5/35.ASP> and the NE file format. If you are running fnts2fon in the Cygwin environment, you will need to grant execute permission to the resulting .FON file using chmod(1) be- fore Windows can use it. OPTIONS Note that apart from --fontid and possibly --winver, the other options should not be necessary unless you are trying to produce output byte- by-byte identical to an existing Windows font. --fontid="string" Sets the font resolution / description string. This is normally formed "FONTRES nn,nn,nn : Description". It must begin FONTRES for Windows 3.x and 9x to recognise the font. By default the string used is "FONTRES 200,96,48 : <fontname> ". Under MS-DOS, use underlines to represent spaces - for example, --fontid=FONTRES_83,60,72_:_Times_Roman --winver=MAJOR.MINOR Sets the Windows version required in the output file. The MAJOR and MINOR are treated as separate numbers, so --winver=3.1 and --winver=3.01 are the same, but --winver=3.1 and --winver=3.10 are different. Windows 2.x and 3.0 still load fonts marked as for version 3.1 so this option may not have much practical use. --checksum16=nnn and --checksum32=nnn Set the 16-bit checksum in the DOS header, and the 32-bit check- sum in the Windows header. Windows does not appear to check these. --dosmsg Sets the message to display if the font is renamed to .EXE and run from DOS. --idbase=nnn Sets the resource ID to allocate to the first font. --idstep=nnn Sets the increment to add to the resource ID. --linkver=MAJOR.MINOR Set the version of the linker that supposedly created this file. The same caveats apply as for --winver. --modname=NAME Set the name of the program that was supposedly assembled to make this file. --mzextra=NNN Sets the value in word 2 of the 'MZ' file header. --stub=nnn Set the DOS stub to use. They all do exactly the same thing, but in slightly different ways. --sysfont=nnn Mark font nnn as a system font. BUGS Does not appear to work with vector .FNT files, only raster ones.
