SPLITFONT(1)

โœจ NAME โœจ

okay so bestie, this is splitfont, and it's literally just one tool ๐Ÿ’… its whole job is to extract characters from an ISO-type font ๐Ÿ”ค

๐ŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS ๐ŸŽ€

splitfont fontfile <character range>...

๐Ÿ’– DESCRIPTION ๐Ÿ’–

okay the vibe here is that splitfont removes characters from a font file you give it ๐Ÿซถ you name the font file, you list the characters you want gone, and it deletes every one of them from that font file ๐Ÿ˜ญ it's giving surgical precision โœจ

this works for Linux console fonts ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ but there are some rules, so pay attention bestie:

  • the font has to be without PSF headers ๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™€๏ธ
  • it has to contain just 256 characters ๐Ÿ”ข

the character range you pass in is written like this:

17,23-30,

so you can list single characters, or ranges with a dash, and separate them with commas ๐Ÿฆ‹
