fontstuff's Introduction

Newcons Unicode Font Stuff

This repository contains a bits and pieces related to fixed-size bitmap fonts. The goal is to produce fonts for the FreeBSD Newcons console update project.

A number of tools here are from the GNU Unifont project, http://czyborra.com/unifont/. Roman Czyborra came up with a simple ASCII hex format for font data which is perfectly suited to this application.

To try out one of the fonts in an xterm, use:

./hex2bdf newcons-default-normal.hex > font.bdf
mkfontdir
xset fp+ $(pwd)
xset fp rehash
xterm -fn -freebsd-misc-medium-r-normal--16-160-75-75-c-80-iso10646-1
