NAME

psfaddtable - add a Unicode character table to a console font

SYNOPSIS

psfaddtablefontfile tablefile [outfile]

DESCRIPTION

psfaddtabletakes a console font in .psf format given byfontfileand merges it with the Unicode character table given bytablefileto produce a font file with an embedded character table, which is written tooutfileif given, or else to standard output. Eitherfontfileoroutfile(but not both) can be replaced by a single dash (-) to read from standardinput instead. If thefontfilealready contains an embedded character table, it is ignored.

TABLE FILE FORMAT

Each line in thetablefileshould be either blank, contain a comment (preceded by#),or contain a sequence of numbers in either decimal (default), octal (precededby0),or hexadecimal (preceded by0x)format. The first number on each line indicates the glyph slot in the fontthat is being referred to, this is between 0 and 0xff for a 256-characterfont and 0 and 0x1ff for a 512-character font. Any subsequent numbers on thesame line are Unicodes matched by this specific glyph slot. It ispermissible to have multiple lines for the same glyph.
