ucs2any - generate BDF fonts containing subsets of ISO 10646-1 codepoints
ucs2any [ +d | -d ] source-name { mapping-file registry-encoding } ...
ucs2any allows one to generate from an ISO 10646-1 encoded BDF
font other BDF fonts in any possible encoding. This way, one can derive
from a single ISO 10646-1 master font a whole set of 8-bit fonts in all ISO
8859 and various other encodings.
- +d
- puts DEC VT100 graphics characters
in the C0 range (default for upright, character-cell fonts).
- -d
- omits DEC
VT100 graphics characters from the C0 range (default for all font types
except upright, character-cell fonts).
- source-name
- is the name of
an ISO 10646-1 encoded BDF file.
- mapping-file
- is the name of a character set
table like those at <ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/>. These files can
also typically be found installed in the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/util/
directory.
- registry-encoding
- are the CHARSET_REGISTRY and CHARSET_ENCODING
field values for the font name (XLFD) of the target font, separated by
a hyphen.
Any number of mapping-file and registry-encoding operand pairs may
be specified.
The command
ucs2any 6x13.bdf 8859-1.TXT iso8859-1 8859-2.TXT
iso8859-2
will generate the files 6x13-iso8859-1.bdf and 6x13-iso8859-2.bdf.
Hopefully a future XFree86 release will have a facility similar
to ucs2any built into the server, and reencode ISO 10646-1 on the fly, because
storing the same fonts in many different encodings is clearly a waste of
storage capacity.
