🎀 NAME

psf2wyse — convert a PC Screen Font file to a Wyse-60 soft font. that's it, that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly ✨

---

📜 SYNOPSIS

psf2wyse [--bank=BANK] [--dest=DEST] [--height=HEIGHT] [--first=FIRST]
[--last=LAST] [--nulls=COUNT] [INPUTFILE [OUTPUTFILE]]

---

💖 DESCRIPTION

so like, psf2wyse converts a font that's in the .PSF format into a soft-font that's suitable for use with Wyse-60 and compatible terminals 👑. and then the resulting soft-font can be saved as a text file, OR you can just send it straight to the terminal like the icon that you are. no middleman, no stress 🦋

⭐ OPTIONS ⭐

• --bank=BANK — okay so the Wyse-60 has four banks of 128 characters each, numbered 0 to 3 🧚. By default the first two contain the 16-pixel font used in 25-line modes, and the second two contain the 9-pixel font used in 43-line modes. This option sets the first bank to load into — and heads up, psf2wyse will load into subsequent banks if there are more characters in the font than will fit into one 💀. she just keeps going. respect.
• --dest=DEST — this one specifies the first character to populate in the destination bank 🎯. By default it's zero. classic.
• --first=FIRST — starts generating the font at character FIRST. like, we begin here 💅
• --last=LAST — finishes generating the font after doing character LAST. the end, periodt 🫶
• --height=HEIGHT — sets the height of the characters which will be sent to the terminal 📏. By default this is 16, whatever the height of the font being converted is. and lowkey important: on a Wyse-60, attempts to define characters at other heights appear to be ignored 😭. so yeah, 16. it's 16.
• --nulls=COUNT — after sending the definition for a character, send COUNT null bytes 🌙. This appears to be necessary to make sure the terminal doesn't miss the start of a character while it's still processing the previous character (she's doing her best okay, she's busy). By default COUNT is 8.

💀 BUGS

The terminal screen tends to flicker like crazy while characters not in the current bank are being defined. not me getting flashbanged by my own font conversion 🙈✨
