Package: unifont-bin (1:5.1.20080914-1)

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'.
