NAME

6       unihex2bmp - GNU Unifont .hex file to bitmap graphics file converter
7

SYNOPSIS

9       unihex2bmp [-phexpage] [-iinput_file.hex] [-ooutput_file.bmp] [-f] [-w]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       unihex2bmp  reads  a  GNU  Unifont  .hex  file Unicode page of 256 code
13       points and converts the page into a Microsoft Windows Bitmap (.bmp)  or
14       Wireless Bitmap (.wbmp) file.  The bitmap file displays the glyphs of a
15       Unicode block of 256 code points in a 32 by 32 pixel grid.  The  glyphs
16       themselves  must  be 16 rows high, and 8, 16, 24, or 31 (encoded as 32)
17       columns wide. The default page is 0; that is, the range U+0000  through
18       U+00FF.
19
20       The bitmap can be printed.  It can also be edited with a bitmap editor.
21       An edited bitmap can then be re-converted into a GNU Unifont .hex  file
22       with the unibmp2hex command.
23

OPTIONS

25       -p    Extract  page  hexpage from the .hex file.  The default is Page 0
26             (Unicode range U+0000 through U+00FF).  Note that "page" is not a
27             standard  Unicode  term.   It refers to an output bitmap graphics
28             page of 16 by 16 code points.
29
30       -i    Specify the input file. The default is STDIN.
31
32       -o    Specify the output file. The default is STDOUT.
33
34       -f    "Flip" (transpose) the grid, swapping rows and columns  from  the
35             Unicode standard orientation.
36
37       -w    Produce a Wireless Bitmap format file instead of a Microsoft Win‐
38             dows Bitmap file.

BUGS

68       No known real bugs exist, except that this software  does  not  perform
69       extensive  error  checking  on  its input files.  If they're not in the
70       format of the original GNU Unifont .hex file, all bets are off.   Lines
71       can  be  terminated either with line feed, or carriage return plus line
72       feed.
