PSFADDTABLE(1)                         General Commands Manual                        PSFADDTABLE(1)



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 Uni‐
       code character table given by tablefile to produce a font file with an embedded character ta‐
       ble,  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  embed‐
       ded character table, it is ignored.

TABLE FILE FORMAT
       Each line in the tablefile should be either blank, contain a comment (preceded by #), or con‐
       tain 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 indi‐
       cates 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.
