.SH Description

VFontAS (VGA font file assembler). This small utility works on 8x16x256 bit
raw font files (FNT). It can extract the chars from a FNT, that is, convert
them to a textual bitmap, and merge them back; mainly to create fonts.

\fB\-G\fP
Convert a raw 8x16 FNT file from stdin to a 9x16 PSF2 suitable for fbdev, while
extending the 8th column to the 9th column like the PC VGA BIOS mode 01h does.
.TP
\fB\-W\fP
Convert a raw 8x16 FNT file from stdin to a 16x16 PSF2, mimicking 40x25 text
mode on a 80x25 display.
.TP
\fB\-c\fP, \fB\-\-create\fP
Create a new FNT file by readnig all glyphs from the directory specified by
\-D.
.TP
\fB\-f\fP \fIfile\fP
Read/write from/to the VGA font stored in \fIfile\fP.
.TP
\fB\-x\fP, \fB\-\-extract\fP
