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.  An input file name of "-" denotes standard
       input, and an output file name of "-" denotes standard output.  If  the  fontfile  already
       contains 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 numbers in either decimal  (default),  octal  (preceded  by  0),  or
       hexadecimal  (preceded  by  0x)  format, separated by spaces or tabs.  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 Unicodes matched  by  this  specific  glyph  slot.
       Instead  of  a  single Unicode one may have a sequence of Unicodes separates by commas, to
       denote that the glyph depicts the corresponding composed symbol.   It  is  permissible  to
       have multiple lines for the same glyph.
