NAME
psfaddtable - add a Unicode character table to a console
font
SYNOPSIS
psfaddtable fontfile tablefile [outfile]
DESCRIPTION
psfaddtable takes a console font in .psf format given by
fontfile and merges it with the Unicode character table
given by tablefile to produce a font file with an embedded
character table, which is written to outfile if given, or
else to standard output. Either fontfile or outfile (but
not both) can be replaced by a single dash (-) to read
from standard input instead. If the fontfile already con-
tains an embedded character table, it is ignored.
TABLE FILE FORMAT
Each line in the tablefile should be either blank, contain
a comment (preceded by #), or contain a sequence of num-
bers in either decimal (default), octal (preceded by 0),
or hexadecimal (preceded by 0x) format. The first number
on each line indicates the glyph slot in the font that is
being referred to, this is between 0 and 0xff for a
256-character font and 0 and 0x1ff for a 512-character
font. Any subsequent numbers on the same line are Uni-
codes matched by this specific glyph slot. It is permis-
sible to have multiple lines for the same glyph.
