Name
vfontas — VGA font file assembler
Syntax
vfontas [-EGW] [-D directory] [-c|--create] [-f file] [-x|--extract]
Description
VFontAS (VGA font file assembler). This small utility works on 8x16x256 bit raw font files
(FNT). It can extract the chars from a FNT, that is, convert them to a textual bitmap, and
merge them back; mainly to create fonts.
Syntax
-D directory
Directory to read/write glyphs from/to.
-E Create an empty font file.
-G Convert a raw 8x16 FNT file from stdin to a 9x16 PSF2 suitable for fbdev, while
extending the 8th column to the 9th column like the PC VGA BIOS mode 01h does.
-W Convert a raw 8x16 FNT file from stdin to a 16x16 PSF2, mimicing 40x25 text mode on
a 80x25 display.
-c, --create
Create a new FNT file by readnig all glyphs from the directory specified by -D.
-f file
Read/write from/to the VGA font stored in file.
-x, --extract
Extract the VGA font file's glyphs into the directory specified by -D.
Only one of -E, -c or -x can be specified.
