PSFADDTABLE(1)              General Commands Manual              PSFADDTABLE(1)

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.
