UNIFONT-VIEWER(1)
π UNIFONT-VIEWER π
okay bestie, gather round, because this is the manual page for unifont-viewer, and it is genuinely one of the cutest little tools in the whole Unifont family. it lives in the General Commands Manual section, and its whole entire job is: view a .hex font file with a graphical user interface. that's it. that's the girl. π
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
unifont-viewer &
yes the & is right there in the synopsis, she's a background girlie, she runs in the background. periodt. π
πΈ DESCRIPTION πΈ
so here's the vibe. unifont-viewer reads a GNU Unifont .hex file and displays glyphs in blocks of 16 by 16, which is 256 glyphs per screen, all with a graphical user interface. it's giving font girlboss. π₯
you pick the .hex file by opening it with the File > Open menu item, or by typing Control-O. no cap, those are the two ways. after you load a file, a list of "pages" of 256 glyphs will appear in the left-hand column of the window, like a lil sidebar of options. and the first such page of glyphs in the file will appear in the main window. iconic. β¨
unifont-viewer supports glyph heights of 16, 24, and 32 pixels. the height of a .hex font file is selected under the File menu. the default selection is Glyph Height 16. (so if you don't touch anything, you're getting the 16-pixel girlie. she's the default for a reason. π)
when you're done, exit unifont-viewer by selecting File > Exit, or by typing Control-X. bye bestie, thank you for coming π«Ά
