SYNOPSIS

       hexdraw [--height height] < input-font.hex > output-font.txt
       hexdraw [--height height] < input-font.txt > output-font.hex

DESCRIPTION

       hexdraw  reads a sorted GNU Unifont .hex file from STDIN and writes a two dimensional ASCII art rendering
       for each glyph to STDOUT.  The output file can be edited with any text editor, then converted back into a
       .hex file.  Unifont ASCII hexadecimal glyphs are 16 pixels high and can be 8, 16, 24, or 32 pixels wide.

OPTIONS

              --height  By default, hexdraw expects glyphs to be  16  rows  high.   Alternatively,  a  different
                        height  of 24, 32, or 64 can be specified, for glyphs that are up to 128 columns wide by
                        64 rows high.
