vfont2txt(1)

NAME
vfont2txt - convert a BSD vfont file to text

SYNOPSIS
vfont2txt [INPUTFILE [OUTPUTFILE]]

DESCRIPTION

vfont2txt converts a font in the vfont(5) format to a human-readable textual format. The resulting file can be edited manually and later converted back using txt2vfont(1).

The file format used is as documented under txt2vfont(1). When character bitmaps are output, the location of the baseline point is marked with an 'O' (blank) or '@' (dot) character, with '=' marking the horizontal position of the baseline and '|' the corresponding vertical. When the file is parsed by txt2vfont(1) the location of the 'O' or '@' (if present) will be checked against the 'Left' and 'Up' values that locate the baseline point, and a warning issued if they differ.

The header of the file will include three purely notational fields: BitmapLength , MaxWidth and MaxHeight . These are ignored by txt2vfont(1).
