unibmp2hex - Bitmap graphics file to GNU Unifont .hex file converter

unibmp2hex was written by Paul Hardy.

       No known real bugs exist, except that this software does not perform  extensive  error  checking  on  its
       input files.  If they're not in the format of the original bitmapped output from unihex2bmp, all bets are
       off.

       If  the  output  file  is for a "page" containing space code points and the bitmap file squares for those
       code points are not empty, unibmp2hex preserves the graphics as they are drawn.

                                                   2007 Dec 31                                     UNIBMP2HEX(1)

unibmp2hex  reads  a  bitmap  produced by unihex2bmp before or after editing, and converts it back into a
       Unifont .hex format file.  The graphics file contains a block of 256 Unicode code points arranged in a 16
       by 16 grid.  Each code point appears in a 32 by 32 pixel grid.  Characters are 16 rows high, and  8,  16,
       or 31 (treated as 32) columns wide.

       Sample usage:

              unibmp2hex -imy_input_file.bmp -omy_output_file.hex

       *.bmp or *.wbmp graphics files

-p    Specify  that the code points will be assigned to the 256 block space pagenum in the .hex file.  If
             not specified, unibmp2hex will determine the appropriate  block  by  reading  the  row  and  column
             headers.   Note that "page" is not a standard Unicode term.  It refers to an output bitmap graphics
             page of 16 by 16 code points.  If pagenum is greater than FF, the block resides above  the  Unicode
             Basic  Multilingual  Plane.  In that event, the .hex file will contain eight digit hexadecimal code
             points rather than the Unifont standard of four hexadecimal code points.

       -i    Specify the input file. The default is STDIN.

       -o    Specify the output file. The default is STDOUT.

       -w    Force all output .hex glyphs to be 16 pixels wide rather than dual width (8 or 16 pixels).
