.SH NAME

psfaddtable \- add a Unicode character table to a console font

.SH SYNOPSIS

.B psfaddtable

.I fontfile tablefile outfile

.SH DESCRIPTION

.IX "psfaddtable command" "" "\fLpsfaddtable\fR command"  

.LP

.B psfaddtable

takes a console font in .psf format given by

.I fontfile

and merges it with the Unicode character table given by

.I tablefile

to produce a font file with an embedded character table, which is

written to

.IR outfile .

An input file name of "\-" denotes standard input,

and an output file name of "\-" denotes standard output.

If the

.I fontfile

already contains an embedded character table, it is ignored.

.SH TABLE FILE FORMAT

Each line in the

.I tablefile

should be either blank, contain a comment (preceded by

.IR # ),

or contain a sequence of numbers in either decimal (default), octal

(preceded by

.IR 0 ),

or hexadecimal (preceded by

.IR 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.
