👑 UNICOVERAGE(1) — the manual page, bestie edition 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to unicoverage, part of the GNU Unifont crew, and it's literally about to tell you how much of every Unicode Script your font actually covers. no cap. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

unicoverage — print coverage of each Unicode Script 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

unicoverage [-iinput-file] [-ooutput-file] [-n]

like. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🦋

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so here's the tea: unicoverage reads a GNU Unifont .hex font, and then it uses the data chilling in coverage.dat — and yes, that file must reside in the current directory, it's not gonna go looking for it, she's high maintenance like that 🎀 — and then it prints out the percent coverage of each script listed in that coverage.dat file.

one thing though, bestie, and I need you to hear me: the Unicode code points in the input .hex file must be in ascending order. that's not a suggestion, that's the law. ⭐

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -i — specify the input file. the default is STDIN (so like, she'll just read whatever you pipe in, she's flexible 💁‍♀️).
  • -n — print the number of glyphs in each range instead of a percentage count. so instead of "look how covered this is ✨" it's "look how MANY there are ✨". either way we're eating.
  • -o — specify the output file. the default is STDOUT (so she's gonna yap right into your terminal unless you redirect her 🫶).

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

sample usage, copy it, love it, run it:

unicoverage < unifont.hex >coverage.txt
and that's it! redirect in, redirect out, go be a main character. 💅

🍓 FILES 🍓

  • coverage.dat, *.hex GNU Unifont files.

that's the whole squad. 📁✨
