NAME

       unibdf2hex - Convert BDF font glyphs into Unifont .hex glyphs

SYNOPSIS

       unibdf2hex < input-font.bdf > output-font.hex

DESCRIPTION

       unibdf2hex  reads  a  BDF  font file, extracting selected code points and printing them on
       stdout in Unifont .hex format.  This program was used to extract CJK ideographs  from  the
       16x16  version  of  Wen  Quan  Yi's BDF font.  Currently the program is hard-coded to only
       extract those code points that comprise the "wqy.hex"  source  font  file  used  to  build
       "unifont.hex" but this source code could easily be modified.

FILES

       *.hex GNU Unifont font files
