DESCRIPTION

15       psf2fnt  saves  some  or  all  characters from a .PSF font as a Windows
16       font-resource file, as used by  the  Windows  SDK  tool  FONTEDIT.  The
17       resulting  file  can  then  be  processed with fnts2fon(1) to create an
18       installable font.

OPTIONS

21       --ascent
22              Sets the distance from the baseline to the top of the character.
23              This defaults to the height of the font, minus 1.
24
25       --bold Marks the resulting font as bold.
26
27       --brkchar=nnn
28              Sets  the  index  of  the  character  used to print word breaks.
29              Defaults to 32 (space).
30
31       --charset=charset
32              Sets the character set of the resulting font. This can be one of
33              the words ANSI, OEM or SYMBOL; or a numeric value.
34
35       --codepage=x
36              Extracts only the characters in the given codepage (requires the
37              source PSF file to have a Unicode directory). Any characters  in
38              the  codepage  not  present  in  the source font are replaced by
39              blanks. The codepage can be specified by  number  or  name;  see
40              psfpages(1) for a list of acceptable codepage names.
41
42       --copy=string
43              Sets  the copyright string in the resulting font. Note that spa‐
44              ces will have to be escaped to hide them from the shell.
45
46       --defchar=nnn
47              Sets the index of the character  used  to  display  out-of-range
48              characters.  Defaults to 46 (full stop).

51              Extracts characters starting at the specified character.
52
53       --fontname=name
54              Sets the name of the output font.
55
56       --horzres=nnn
57              Sets  the  horizontal resolution of the font in DPI. Defaults to
58              48.
59
60       --italic
61              Marks the font as italic.

63       --last=n
64              Extracts characters up to and including the specified character.
65
66       --pointsize=n
67              Sets the font point size. This defaults to the  font  height  in
68              pixels.
69
70       --version=n
71              Sets  the  file  format  version. This can be 1, 2 or 3. Version
72              1.0.8uld only be used if you are creating  a  font  for  Windows
