💖 psf2wof — the PSF Tools girlies' guide to WriteOn fonts 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the psf2wof(1) page, part of the PSF Tools fam 🎀. Sit down, grab a lil snack 🍓, because we're about to turn your cute little .PSF font into a .wof font and honestly? it's giving ✨transformation✨.

🌈 NAME 🌈

psf2wof — converts part or all of a PSF font into Hercules WriteOn format. yes, part or all, she's flexible like that 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

psf2wof [--first=FIRST] [--last=LAST] [--256] [--codepage=CODEPAGE]
[INPUTFILE [OUTPUTFILE]]

like, she takes an input file, she takes an output file, and she has opinions via flags. iconic.

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so here's the tea 🫖: psf2wof saves some or all characters from a .PSF font as a .wof font, which should be suitable for the Hercules WriteOn word processor 👑.

that's it. that's the whole job. she slays, she converts, she leaves. no cap.

🦋 OPTIONS 🦋

  • --codepage=x — extracts only the characters in the given codepage 🌸. heads up tho, this requires the source PSF file to have a Unicode directory (no directory, no codepage, sorry bestie 😭). any characters in the codepage that aren't present in the source font get replaced by blanks — like, ghosted fr fr 👻. you can specify the codepage by number or by name, and if you need the full list of acceptable codepage names, go check out psfpages(1) 📖.
  • --first=n — extracts characters starting at the specified character. a lil starting line, if you will 🏁.
  • --last=n — extracts characters up to and including the specified character. yes, inclusive, she's generous 💖.
  • --256 — equivalent to --first=0 --last=255. that's it. the whole 256. the whole vibe 💅.
ok important note: if you specify both a codepage and a range of characters, the range gets applied to the subset of characters extracted by the codepage. so the codepage filters first, then your range slices that subset. layers on layers 🧚
