psf2wyse(1) PSF Tools psf2wyse(1) NAME psf2wyse - convert a PC Screen Font file to a Wyse-60 soft font SYNOPSIS psf2wyse [--bank=BANK] [--dest=DEST] [--height=HEIGHT] [--first=FIRST] [--last=LAST] [--nulls=COUNT] [INPUTFILE [OUTPUTFILE]] DESCRIPTION psf2wyse converts a font in the .PSF format to a soft-font suitable for use with Wyse-60 and compatible terminals. The resulting soft-font can be saved as a text file, or just sent straight to the terminal. OPTIONS --bank=BANK The Wyse-60 has four banks of 128 characters each, numbered 0 to 3. By default the first two contain the 16-pixel font used in 25-line modes, and the second two contain the 9-pixel font used in 43-line modes. This option sets the first bank to load into; note that psf2wyse will load into subsequent banks if there are more characters in the font than will fit into one. --dest=DEST Specifies the first character to populate in the destination bank. By default this is zero. --first=FIRST Starts generating the font at character FIRST. --last=LAST Finishes generating the font after doing character LAST. --height=HEIGHT Sets the height of the characters which will be sent to the ter- minal. By default this is 16, whatever the height of the font being converted; on a Wyse-60, attempts to define characters at other heights appear to be ignored. --nulls=COUNT After sending the definition for a character, send COUNT null bytes. This appears to be necessary to make sure the terminal doesn't miss the start of a character while it's still process- ing the previous character. By default COUNT is 8. BUGS The terminal screen tends to flicker like crazy while characters not in the current bank are being defined.
