okay bestie so this is reduce-font β it reduces a font to a set of glyphs. that's the whole vibe. β¨
π SYNOPSIS π
reduce-font font.bdf < text
like, that's it. that's the whole command. she's simple. she's iconic. π
πΈ DESCRIPTION πΈ
so here's the tea, bestie π« β reduce-font reduces the content of a font, and it does that based on the set of text that you feed it. the way it works is you tell it which text is gonna have to be displayed with the reduced font, and it trims the font down to only what's needed for that. slay. π
and the iconique part? there is no option. none. zero. not a single flag. π«β¨ she takes no options, she answers no questions, she just does the thing. no cap.
you pipe your text in on stdin (< text), you hand her a font file (font.bdf), and she goes off. main character energy fr fr ππ¦
ngl this is giving "no notes, no options, just vibes" and honestly? we respect it. π
