📦 version 1.1.3, in nixpkgs unstable, ubuntu stonking

💖 psfxsaa — bestie edition 💖

okay so this is psfxsaa, a lil tool from PSF Tools (manual section 1, if you're keeping track 🎀). It's the glow-up machine for PC Screen Font files, and honestly? iconic.

🌸 NAME 🌸

psfxsaa — double the character height and width in a PC Screen Font file. yeah. we're making everything bigger. no cap.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

psfxsaa [--psf1] [--psf2] [INPUTFILE [OUTPUTFILE]]

look at her. so simple. so clean. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

bestie, listen. psfxsaa takes all the characters in a font that's in the .PSF format and doubles both the height and the width of every single one of them. every character!! gets bigger!!

and it doesn't just stretch them all ugly and blurry — it uses the SAA5050 algorithm to smooth out the diagonal lines, so your letters stay looking cute and crisp instead of jagged and crusty. the way that algorithm carries the whole font on its back… 😭🫶

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • --psf1 — forces the output to be in PSF1 format. periodt.
  • --psf2 — forces the output to be in PSF2 format. also periodt. ✨
ngl bestie, that's the whole options list. two of them. she keeps it minimal, and honestly, respect.
