NAME

6       unifont1per - Create BMP glyph files from GNU Unifont .hex file
7

SYNOPSIS

9       unifont1per < input_file.hex
10

DESCRIPTION

12       unifont1per  reads  a  GNU Unifont .hex file and for each code point in
13       the file, creates an output Bitmapped Graphics  (".bmp")  file  in  the
14       current  directory.   The  filename  for  each  output file is "U+code‐
15       point.bmp", where codepoint is the Unicode codepoint for the glyph.
16
17       Each glyph entry in a Unifont .hex file is expected to be 16 rows tall,
18       and  can  be  8,  16, 24, or 32 pixels wide.  The glyph sizes in output
19       files are determined on a glyph-by-glyph basis.
20
21       This program can be of use in extracting individual glyphs  to  display
22       in a document or on a web page.
23
24       WARNING!   This  program  generates one output file per code point that
25       appears in the input stream.  If you feed this program a file with 1000
26       code points, it will generate 1000 files in your current directory.

BUGS

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