NAME

6       cpi2psf - extract a font from a DOS codepage (.CPI)
7

SYNOPSIS

9       cpi2psf [--height=x] [--codepage=nnn] [--psf1] [--psf2] INPUTFILE [OUT‐
10       PUTFILE]

DESCRIPTION

12       cpi2psf extracts a font from a DOS  codepage  (.CPI)  file.  All  known
13       codepage  file  formats  are  supported  (MSDOS, DRDOS, Windows NT, and
14       Linux).
15

OPTIONS

17       --height=x
18              Extract the font with the specified height. Otherwise the  first
19              height found will be used.
20
21       --codepage=nnn
22              Extract  only the specified codepage as a 256-character font. If
23              this option is not present, all the characters of the  requested
24              size  from all the codepages in the font will be extracted, with
25              duplicates being merged. nnn must be a numeric  codepage  speci‐
26              fier such as 437 or 850.
27
28       --psf1 Outputs in PSF1 format. It is recommended that this is only used
29              if the --codepage option is also present, otherwise the  result‐
30              ing PSF1 file may not hold all the characters from the codepage.
31
32       --psf2 Outputs in PSF2 format (default).
33

BUGS

35       If  no filename is provided, the program will attempt to load its input
36       file from standard input. The success of this operation depends on  the
37       internal  structure  of  the  CPI  file,  and the capabilities of the C
38       library.
