NAME
       vtfontcvt -- convert font files for use by the video console

SYNOPSIS
       vtfontcvt  [-nv]	 [-f  format]  [-h  height]  [-w width]	-o output_file
		 normal_font [bold_font]

DESCRIPTION
       The vtfontcvt utility reads source font files in	either BDF or  Unifont
       HEX format and outputs a	file in	one of the available output formats.

       HEX  format files (normal_font and bold_font) must have the file	exten-
       sion .hex.

       The following options are available:

       -f format       Specify the output format.  Available formats are:

		       compressed-source  C source with	font  data  compressed
					  by using LZ4 compression method.

		       font		  A binary font	file (default).

		       source		  C source.

		       The  output in C	source is intended to be used to embed
		       the font	into program binary.

		       The binary font file is for use by vt(4).

       -h height       Set font	height.	 The default is	16.   Font  height  is
		       set  automatically for BDF files	and for	HEX files that
		       have a
			     # Height: height
		       comment before any font data.

       -n	       Do not apply output filtering with C source output.

       -o output_file  Specify the name	for the	output file.

       -v	       Display verbose statistics about	the converted font.

       -w width	       Set font	width.	The default is 8.  Font	width  is  set
		       automatically for BDF files and for HEX files that have
		       a
			     # Width: width
		       comment before any font data.
