.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
.B psfxtable
handles the embedded Unicode character table for .psf format
console fonts. It reads a font and possibly a table
and writes a font and/or a table.
.BR psfaddtable (1),
.BR psfgettable (1)
and
.BR psfstriptable (1)
are links to it.

Each of the filenames
.IR infont ,
.IR outfont ,
.IR intable ,
and
.I outtable
may be replaced by a single dash (\-), in which case
standard input or standard output is used.
If no \fI\-i\fR option is given, the font is read from standard input.
If no \fI\-it\fR or \fI\-o\fR or \fI\-ot\fR option is given,
no input table is read or no output font or output table is written.

By default the output font (if any) will have a Unicode table
when either the input font has one, or an explicit table
(which overrides an input font table) has been provided.
The option \fI\-nt\fR causes output of a font without table.
When
.I outfont
is requested it will get a psf1 header when infont has
a psf1 header and
.I intable
does not have sequences and a psf2 header otherwise.
