[fontfile] |
The wsfontload
utility loads a font bitmap
to a wscons device if the device driver supports it. The font gets assigned
a name in this process which it can be referred to by later for use on a
display screen. The font is loaded from the specified
fontfile, or from stdin if
fontfile is not provided.
The options are as follows:
-B
-b
-e
encoding-f
file-h
height-l
-N
name-w
widthNo font files are provided with the wscons framework. The fonts installed by PCVT can be used instead, as can raw font files from other operating system distributions.
Load the IBM-encoded 8x8-font from the PCVT distribution. This (or another 8x8-font) is necessary to use the 50-line screen type on vga(4) displays.
# wsfontload -N myname -h 8 -e ibm \ /usr/share/misc/pcvtfonts/vt220l.808
The wsfontload
program appeared in
OpenBSD 2.8.
Many features are missing.
There is no way to remove a loaded font.
