3 unifontpic \- Convert GNU Unifont .hex input to a bitmap image of the whole font
13 reads a GNU Unifont .hex file from STDIN and writes a two dimensional
14 rendering for each glyph to STDOUT.
15 The output displays the entire Unicode Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP)
16 as one large graphic image, showing a grid of 256 glyphs by 256 glyphs
17 as the default, or (at your option) 16 glyphs across by 4,096 glyphs down.
19 Input can be one or more files in Unifont .hex format. They don't
22 will populate the entire glyph array of 65,536 code points before
23 writing its output. The input glyph code points should all be
24 unique, as feeding in duplicate code points will produce unpredictable
27 on a sorted input of .hex files to guarantee no code point
32 Specify a Dots per Inch (DPI) resolution of
34 For example, specifying -d120 will encode the bitmap graphics file
35 output as having a resolution of 120 DPI.
38 Produce a long chart, 16 glyphs wide by 4,096 glyphs tall.
39 The default is a wide chart, 256 glyphs wide by 256 glyphs tall.
42 Use tiny numbers for the row and column code point labels. Tiny
43 numbers are on a 4 by 5 pixel grid. Only tiny code point labels
44 appear on the long chart variant; this option only has effect
45 for wide charts (the default, of 256 by 256 glyphs). If this option
46 is not specified for the default 256-by-256 grid, row and column
47 code point labels are taken from Unifont's glyphs for `0' to `9'
