.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility loads a font bitmap into the wsfont font pool
|
|
(or a wscons device if the device driver supports this).
|
|
The font gets assigned a name in this process which it can be referred to
|
|
by later for use on a display screen.
|
|
The font is loaded from the specified
|
|
.Ar fontfile ,
|
|
or from standard input if
|
|
.Ar fontfile
|
|
is not provided.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxx
|
|
.It Fl f Ar wsdev
|
|
Specify the device to operate on.
|
|
Default is
|
|
.Pa /dev/wsfont .
|
|
.It Fl w Ar width
|
|
Sets the width of a font character in pixels.
|
|
Default is 8.
|
|
.It Fl h Ar height
|
|
Sets the height of a font character in pixels.
|
|
Default is 16.
|
|
.It Fl e Ar encoding
|
|
Sets the encoding of the font.
|
|
This can be either a symbolic abbreviation or a numeric value.
|
|
Currently recognized abbreviations are
|
|
.Ql iso
|
|
for ISO-8859-1 encoding,
|
|
.Ql ibm
|
|
for IBM encoded fonts and
|
|
.Ql pcvt
|
|
for the custom encoding of the supplemental fonts which came with
|
|
the
|
|
.Bx
|
|
.Dq pcvt
|
|
console driver.
|
|
Per default,
|
|
.Ql iso
|
|
is assumed.
|
|
.It Fl N Ar name
|
|
Specifies a name which can be used later to refer to the font.
|
|
If none is given, the
|
|
.Ar fontfile
|
|
name is used to create one.
|
|
.It Fl b
|
|
Specifies that the font data is ordered right-to-left bit wise.
|
|
The default is left-to-right.
|
|
.It Fl B
|
|
Specifies that the font data is ordered right-to-left byte wise.
|
|
The default is left-to-right.
|
|
.It Fl v
|
|
Prints the font's properties before loading it.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Typically, the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility will be executed in system startup by the
|
|
.Pa /etc/rc.d/wscons
|
|
script, controlled by the
|
|
.Pa /etc/wscons.conf
|
|
configuration file.
|
