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 produce
a font file with an embedded character table, which is written to out-
file. An input file name of "-" denotes standard input, and an output
file name of "-" denotes standard output. If the fontfile already con-
tains 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 (de-
fault), octal (preceded by 0), or hexadecimal (preceded by 0x) format,
separated by spaces or tabs. The first number on each line indicates
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 de-
picts the corresponding composed symbol. It is permissible to have mul-
tiple lines for the same glyph.
