NAME

6       mda2psf - extract the font from a dump of the IBM PC MDA ROM
7

SYNOPSIS

9       mda2psf [--codepage=page] [--compaq] [INPUTFILE [OUTPUTFILE]]

DESCRIPTION

11       mda2psf  converts  the 14-pixel font in the character ROM used by IBM's
12       MDA and CGA video cards to PC Screen Font format. raw2psf(1) can handle
13       most  ROM  dumps (including the two 8-pixel fonts in this ROM), but the
14       14-pixel font requires a specialised utility.

OPTIONS

17       --codepage=page
18              Add a Unicode directory for the specified codepage, which can be
19              identified by number or name. The original MDA ROM used codepage
20              437. See psfpages(1) for a list of valid codepage names.

22       --compaq
23              Assume the input file is in the format used by  the  Compaq  CGA
24              ROM, not the IBM MDA/CGA ROM.
