VTFONTCVT(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual VTFONTCVT(8)

vtfontcvt —
convert font files for use by the video console

vtfontcvt [-n] [-f font|source|compressed-source] [-h height] -o output_file [-v] [-w width] normal_font [bold_font]

The vtfontcvt utility reads source font files in either BDF or Unifont HEX format and outputs a binary font file, C source, or C source with font data compressed by using LZ4 compression method. The output in C source is intended to be used to embed the font into program binary. The binary font file is for use by vt(4). HEX format files must have the file extension .hex.

The following options are available:

font|source|compressed-source
Specify the output format. The default is binary font file.
height
Set font height. The default is 16. Font height is set automatically for BDF files and for HEX files that have a ‘# Height: height’ comment before any font data.
Do not apply output filtering with C source output.
output_file
Specify the name for the output file.
Display verbose statistics about the converted font.
width
Set font width. The default is 8. Font width is set automatically for BDF files and for HEX files that have a ‘# Width: width’ comment before any font data.
