NAME
     unibdf2hex - Convert BDF font glyphs into Unifont .hex glyphs

SYNOPSIS
     unibdf2hex < input-font.bdf > output-font.hex

DESCRIPTION
     unibdf2hex	 reads	a  BDF	font  file,  extracting selected code points and
     printing them on stdout in Unifont .hex format.  This program was	used  to
     extract  CJK  ideographs  from the 16x16 version of Wen Quan Yi's BDF font.
     Currently the program is hard-coded to only extract those code points  that
     comprise  the  "wqy.hex"  source  font file used to build "unifont.hex" but
     this source code could easily be modified.

FILES
     *.hex GNU Unifont font files
