NAME
convfont - convert font files for svgalibSYNOPSIS
convfont fontfile fontheight vgafontfile
DESCRIPTION
convert the standard format binary fontfile name fontfile to the codepage format required by restorefont(1). The converted font is written to vgafontfile.A binary font file of any number of characters up to 256 can be used, although at least defining the first 128 characters is a good idea. The fontheight must be in the range 1 - 32.
The fontfile file consist of fontheight bytes stored sequentially (top to bottom) for each character in your font, starting with the character with code 0.
The format of vgafontfile is that required by restorefont(1) and described there.
This utility is part of svgalib and can be found in the utils/ subdirectory of the original svgalib distribution. However, it is not installed by default, s.t. it is unclear where you can find it if your svgalib was install linux distribution.
In case of any such problem, simply get an svgalib distribution from the net. You don't need to install it. Just make in the utils/ subdirecty. As of this writing, svgalib-1.2.12.tar.gz is the latest version and can be retrieved by ftp from sunsite.unc.edu at /pub/Linux/libs/graphics and tsx-11.mit.edu at /pub/linux/sources/libs which will most probably be mirrored by a site close to you.
