uniunmask1

Usage

Overview

uniunmask reads a GNU Unifont .hex file. As it reads the font file, it scans for code points matching entries in the "masks.hex" and "substitutes.hex" files. "masks.hex" and "substitutes.hex" are also in GNU Unifont .hex format, ordered by Unicode code point (the hexadecimal number to the left of the colon on each line).

If a code point is encountered from "substitutes.hex", the input code point in the original .hex file is ignored (as is any entry with the same code point in "masks.hex") and the glyph from "substitutes.hex" is written to the output file.

Otherwise, if a code point is encountered from "masks.hex", the input glyph in the original .hex file is XORed with the bits in the "masks.hex" entry. The result of this XOR operation is written to the output file.
