CVT_FONT(1)                     Domain/OS BSD                      CVT_FONT(1)




NAME
     cvt_font - convert fonts from pre-SR10 to SR10 format

SYNOPSIS
     cvt_font  destination source1 [source2]

DESCRIPTION
     The cvt_font command creates a new font file formatted for SR10.  If one
     source name is given, it is converted and placed in the destination file.
     If two source names are given, then the characters in the second source
     font are concatenated with the characters in the first font, converted,
     then placed in the destination font file.

     The source font(s) must be in pre-SR10 format.  Since all pre-SR10 fonts
     have space pre-allocated for 128 characters, the new font can contain up
     to 256 characters.

     If the destination font file already exists, or if cvt_font fails to find
     either source file, an error is printed, and the command terminates
     without changing any fonts.

EXAMPLES
     The following example takes the vt100s font from /sys/dm/fonts and
     formats it for SR10 in the file vt100s in the working directory:

     $ cvt_font vt100s /sys/dm/fonts/vt100s

     The following example takes the courier10 and courier10.a font files from
     /sys/dm/fonts, concatenates them, and formats them for SR10 in the file
     courier10 in the working directory:

     $ cvt_font courier10 /sys/dm/fonts/courier10 /sys/dm/fonts/courier10.a
