NAME vtfontcvt - convert font files for use by the video console
SYNOPSIS vtfontcvt [-nv] [-f format] [-h height] [-w width] -o output_file normal_font [bold_font]
DESCRIPTION The vtfontcvt utility reads source font files in either BDF or Unifont HEX format and outputs a file in one of the available output formats.
HEX format files (normal_font and bold_font) must have the file extension .hex.
The following options are available:
-f format Specify the output format. Available formats are:
compressed-source C source with font data compressed by using LZ4 compression method.
font A binary font file (default).
source C source.
The output in C source is intended to be used to embed the font into program binary.
The binary font file is for use by vt(4).
-h height Set font height. The default is 16. Font height is set automatically for BDF files and for HEX files that have a # Height: height comment before any font data.
-n Do not apply output filtering with C source output.
-o output_file Specify the name for the output file.
-v Display verbose statistics about the converted font.
-w width Set font width. The default is 8. Font width is set automatically for BDF files and for HEX files that have a # Width: width comment before any font data.
