2. Combining PSF fonts

Packit Service 50ad14
Packit Service 50ad14

The program setfont will accept font descriptions like

Packit Service 50ad14
Packit Service 50ad14
Packit Service 50ad14
# combine partial fonts
Packit Service 50ad14
none.00-17.16
Packit Service 50ad14
ascii.20-7f.16
Packit Service 50ad14
none.00-17.16
Packit Service 50ad14
8859-1.a0-ff.16
Packit Service 50ad14
Packit Service 50ad14
Packit Service 50ad14
Packit Service 50ad14
where the first line is precisely # combine partial fonts
Packit Service 50ad14
and the remaining lines contain filenames for PSF fonts to load.
Packit Service 50ad14
The above example (it is the file iso01.16)
Packit Service 50ad14
describes a font with 256 positions, of which the first 32 are taken
Packit Service 50ad14
from the file none.00-17.16, the following 96 from
Packit Service 50ad14
ascii.20-7f.16, the following 32 from
Packit Service 50ad14
none.00-17.16 again, and the final 96 from
Packit Service 50ad14
8859-1.a0-ff.16.
Packit Service 50ad14
In this way all ISO 8859-* fonts of a given pointsize (here 16)
Packit Service 50ad14
can share the same initial 160 positions.
