gf2pbm [options] GF-file DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the gf2pbm command. gf2pbm is a program that converts a single character from a METAFONT-produced GF font file to PBM format. It is used internally by mftrace(1) to feed to autotrace(1) to create a Postscript outline description of the character. OPTIONS
-b Dump a bitmap file. -s Show glyph size. -n NUM Process glyph number NUM. -o FILE Output to FILE instead of stdout. -h Show summary of options. -d Display debugging information. EXIT STATUS
gf2pbm exits with status 0 if successful, status 1 if the requested glyph did not exist and status 2 if there was some other error. SEE ALSO
mf(1), pktrace(1). AUTHOR

NAME
psfaddtable - add a Unicode character table to a console font SYNOPSIS
psfaddtable fontfile tablefile outfile DESCRIPTION
psfaddtable takes a console font in .psf format given by fontfile and merges it with the Unicode character table given by tablefile to pro- duce a font file with an embedded character table, which is written to outfile. An input file name of "-" denotes standard input, and an output file name of "-" denotes standard output. If the fontfile already contains an embedded character table, it is ignored. TABLE FILE FORMAT
Each line in the tablefile should be either blank, contain a comment (preceded by #), or contain a sequence of numbers in either decimal (default), octal (preceded by 0), or hexadecimal (preceded by 0x) format, separated by spaces or tabs. The first number on each line indi- cates the glyph slot in the font that is being referred to, this is between 0 and 0xff for a 256-character font and 0 and 0x1ff for a 512-character font. Any subsequent numbers on the same line are Unicodes matched by this specific glyph slot. Instead of a single Unicode one may have a sequence of Unicodes separates by commas, to denote that the glyph depicts the corresponding composed symbol. It is permis- sible to have multiple lines for the same glyph. SEE ALSO
