Binary package “unifont-bin” in ubuntu precise
utilities for manipulating the GNU Unifont
This is a set of Perl scripts, C programs, and FontForge scripts
to manipulate Roman Czyborra's GNU Unifont ".hex" format font
files. The GNU Unifont has a Unicode-compatible font structure.
These utilities allow editing ".hex" fonts with text and
graphical editors, producing final versions of fonts in BDF,
PCF, TrueType SBIT, and TrueType outline formats.
.
To build the TrueType fonts, install the package 'fontforge'.
To build the PCF fonts, use 'bdftopcf', which is in the
'xfonts-utils' package. To obtain the font sources, run
'apt-get source unifont'.
