unihexfill - Generate range of Unifont 4- or 6-digit hexadecimal glyphs
Contents
Bugs
No known real bugs exist, except that this software does not perform extensive error checking on its
input file. Any line that appears to begin with a hexadecimal digit is fed to unihexgen.

Description
unihexfill is a shell script that reads a list of code point ranges from STDIN and produces filler glyphs
of 4- or 6-digit code points on STDOUT.
The format of the input file is a combination of comment lines, single code points on a line, and
start/stop pairs of code points on a line separated by a space. Comment lines start with a semicolon
(';') by convention. Start and stop code points are strings of hexadecimal digits, by convention either
four or six digits.
unihexfill invokes unihexgen for each non-comment line in its input file. If a codepoint is less than or
equal to "FFFF" (i.e., 0xFFFF), a four-digit hexadecimal number is encoded within the corresponding
Unifont glyph as two digits on each of two rows. Otherwise, a six-digit hexadecimal number is encoded as
three digits on each of two rows.
Example
In the Unifont source package, the file font/plane01/Makefile generates Unicode Plane 1 hexadecimal
filler glyphs of unassigned code points within assigned scripts with this single-line command:
../../bin/unihexfill < unassigned-ranges.txt > unassigned.hex
Files
*.txt as input; *.hex as output.
