💖 JOHAB2UCS2 💖

okay bestie, sit down, we're doing a General Commands Manual moment and the star of the show is johab2ucs2, page JOHAB2UCS2(1). it takes a Johab BDF font and turns it into GNU Unifont Hangul Syllables. that's the whole vibe. let's go 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

johab2ucs2 — Convert a Johab BDF font into GNU Unifont Hangul Syllables

like, that's it. that's the job. no notes. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

johab2ucs2 < input-font.bdf > output-font.hex

see how the arrow points into it and the other arrow points out? it's giving pipeline main character energy fr fr.

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so here's the tea 🍓

johab2ucs2 reads a Johab encoded BDF font — yes, the kind that Hanterm uses, iykyk — straight from STDIN. then it writes a GNU Unifont .hex file packed with the Unicode Hangul Syllables out to STDOUT.

so like: Johab BDF in, Unifont .hex out. glow up complete. ✨

🦋 FILES 🦋

  • *.bdf font files

those are the ones it wants, bestie. hand it a .bdf and it'll be obsessed.
