NAME

6       hex2bdf - Convert a GNU Unifont .hex file into a BDF font
7

SYNOPSIS

9       hex2bdf [options] < input-font.hex > output-font.bdf
10

DESCRIPTION

12       hex2bdf reads a sorted GNU Unifont .hex file (sorted with the Unix sort
13       utility) from STDIN and writes a BDF version of the font to STDOUT.
14

OPTIONS

16       -f "font-name"
17                   Specify the target font name.  If omitted, the default font
18                   name "Unifont" is assigned.
19
20       -v "font-version"
21                   Specify  the  target font version.  If omitted, the default
22                   version "1.0" is assigned.
23
24       -c "font-copyright"
25                   Specify the target font copyright information.  The default
26                   is the null string.
27
28       -r pixel-rows
29                   Specify  how  many pixel rows tall a glyph is.  The default
30                   is the traditional Unifont 16 rows of pixels.  This  is  an
31                   addition  to support unihex2png(1) and unipng2hex(1), which
32                   allow designing glyphs that are 16, 24, or  32  pixel  rows
33                   tall.
