💖 HEXMERGE(1) 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because today we're talking about hexmerge from the General Commands Manual — yes, the one and only, and she's here to merge your GNU Unifont .hex font files like it's her whole personality. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

hexmerge — merge two or more GNU Unifont .hex font files into one 🦋

like. it takes your little font files and makes them ONE font file. it's giving union. it's giving "we're a family now". 😭💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

hexmerge input-font1.hex input-font2.hex > output-font.hex

that's it. that's the whole vibe. two (or more) inputs, one output, redirect it yourself because she writes to stdout like a queen. 👑

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so hexmerge reads two or more GNU Unifont .hex files, sorts them, and writes the combined font out to stdout. that's the whole thing. no flags, no drama, no hidden lore. she sorts, she merges, she dips. ✨

ngl it's lowkey iconic how simple this is. input font, input font, boom, output font. the way that it just works. 🎀

🍓 FILES 🍓

  • *.hex — GNU Unifont font files 🧚

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay so this is the part where I introduce you to the whole friend group, because hexmerge does NOT run alone, she has a whole squad and you're gonna meet every single one of them, no cap:

like I said. ENTIRE squad. go say hi. 🫶
