hex2bdf - Convert a GNU Unifont .hex file into a BDF font

hex2bdf was written by Roman Czyborra.

       No  known  bugs  exist.   Support  for  glyph  heights other than 16 pixels is brand new and has not been
       extensively tested.

                                                   2008 Jul 06                                        HEX2BDF(1)

hex2bdf  reads a sorted GNU Unifont .hex file (sorted with the Unix sort utility) from STDIN and writes a
       BDF version of the font to STDOUT.

       Sample usage:

              hex2bdf -f "Unifont" -c "(C) 2013..." unifont.hex > unifont.bdf

       *.hex GNU Unifont font files
