NAME

       psfaddtable - add a Unicode character table to a console font

SYNOPSIS

       psfaddtable fontfile tablefile [outfile]

DESCRIPTION

       psfaddtable  takes  a console font in .psf format given by fontfile and
       merges it with the  Unicode  character  table  given  by  tablefile  to
       produce  a font file with an embedded character table, which is written
       to outfile if given, or else to standard output.   Either  fontfile  or
       outfile  (but  not  both)  can be replaced by a single dash (-) to read
       from standard input instead.   If  the  fontfile  already  contains  an
       embedded character table, it is ignored.

TABLE FILE FORMAT

       Each  line  in  the tablefile should be either blank, contain a comment
       (preceded by #), or contain a sequence of  numbers  in  either  decimal
       (default),  octal  (preceded  by  0),  or  hexadecimal (preceded by 0x)
       format.  The first number on each line indicates the glyph slot in  the
       font  that  is  being  referred  to,  this  is between 0 and 0xff for a
       256-character font and 0 and  0x1ff  for  a  512-character  font.   Any
       subsequent  numbers  on  the  same  line  are  Unicodes matched by this
       specific glyph slot.  It is permissible to have multiple lines for  the
       same glyph.
