.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
.B 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.

|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
.B +d
|
|
|
|
|
puts DEC VT100 graphics characters in the C0 range (default for upright,
|
|
|
|
|
character-cell fonts).
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
.B \-d
|
|
|
|
|
omits DEC VT100 graphics characters from the C0 range (default for all
|
|
|
|
|
font types except upright, character-cell fonts).

.SH OPERANDS
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
.I source-name
|
|
|
|
|
is the name of an ISO 10646-1 encoded BDF file.
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
.I mapping-file
|
|
|
|
|
is the name of a character set table like those at
|
|
|
|
|
.BR <ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/> .
|
|
|
|
|
These files can also typically be found installed in the

directory.
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
.I registry-encoding
|
|
|
|
|
are the CHARSET_REGISTRY and CHARSET_ENCODING field values for the font
|
|
|
|
|
name (XLFD) of the target font, separated by a hyphen.

will generate the files

and

.IR 6x13-iso8859-2.bdf .

|
.SH FUTURE DIRECTIONS
|
|
|
|
|
Hopefully a future release will have a facility similar to
|
|
|
|
|
.B 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.
