Overview
hexdraw reads a sorted GNU Unifont .hex file from STDIN and writes a two dimensional ASCII art rendering for each glyph to STDOUT. The output file can be edited with any text editor, then converted back into a .hex file. Unifont ASCII hexadecimal glyphs are 16 pixels high and can be 8, 16, 24, or 32 pixels wide.
Options
-
--height -
By default, hexdraw expects glyphs to be 16 rows high. Alternatively, a different height of 24, 32, or 64 can be specified, for glyphs that are up to 128 columns wide by 64 rows high.
Files
