NAME

       hexdraw - Convert a GNU Unifont .hex file to and from an ASCII text file

SYNOPSIS

       hexdraw [--height height] < input-font.hex > output-font.txt
       hexdraw [--height height] < input-font.txt > output-font.hex

DESCRIPTION

       hexdraw reads a sorted GNU Unifont .hex file from STDIN and writes a two dimensional ASCII
       art rendering for each glyph to STDOUT.  The output file  can  be  edited  with  any  text
       editor,  then  converted  back  into a .hex file.  Unifont ASCII hexadecimal glyphs are 16
       pixels high and can be 8, 16, 24, or 32 pixels wide.

OPTIONS

              --height  By default, hexdraw expects glyphs to be 16 rows high.  Alternatively,  a
                        different  height  of 24, 32, or 64 can be specified, for glyphs that are
                        up to 128 columns wide by 64 rows high.

FILES

       *.hex GNU Unifont font files
