HEXDRAW(1) General Commands Manual HEXDRAW(1) # [NAME](#NAME) hexdraw - Convert a GNU Unifont .hex file to and from an ASCII text file # [SYNOPSIS](#SYNOPSIS) **hexdraw** \[--height *height*] < *input-font.hex* > *output-font.txt* **hexdraw** \[--height *height*] < *input-font.txt* > *output-font.hex* # [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION) **hexdraw** reads a sorted GNU Unifont .hex file from STDIN and writes a two dimensional ASCII art rendering for each glyph to STDOUT. The output file can be edited with any text editor, then converted back into a .hex file. Unifont ASCII hexadecimal glyphs are 16 pixels high and can be 8, 16, 24, or 32 pixels wide. # [OPTIONS](#OPTIONS) [--height](#height) By default, hexdraw expects glyphs to be 16 rows high. Alternatively, a different height of 24, 32, or 64 can be specified, for glyphs that are up to 128 columns wide by 64 rows high. # [FILES](#FILES) \*.hex GNU Unifont font files # [SEE ALSO](#SEE_ALSO) [**bdfimplode**(1)](/man/enterprise-packages/font-unifont/bdfimplode.1), [**hex2bdf**(1)](/man/enterprise-packages/font-unifont/hex2bdf.1), [**hex2otf**(1)](/man/enterprise-packages/font-unifont/hex2otf.1), [**hex2sfd**(1)](/man/enterprise-packages/font-unifont/hex2sfd.1), [**hexbraille**(1)](/man/enterprise-packages/font-unifont/hexbraille.1), [**hexkinya**(1)](/man/enterprise-packages/font-unifont/hexkinya.1), [**hexmerge**(1)](/man/enterprise-packages/font-unifont/hexmerge.1), [**johab2syllables**(1)](/man/enterprise-packages/font-unifont/johab2syllables.1), [**johab2ucs2**(1)](/man/enterprise-packages/font-unifont/johab2ucs2.1), [**unibdf2hex**(1)](/man/enterprise-packages/font-unifont/unibdf2hex.1), [**unibmp2hex**(1)](/man/enterprise-packages/font-unifont/unibmp2hex.1), [**unibmpbump**(1)](/man/enterprise-packages/font-unifont/unibmpbump.1), [**unicoverage**(1)](/man/enterprise-packages/font-unifont/unicoverage.1), [**unidup**(1)](/man/enterprise-packages/font-unifont/unidup.1), [**unifont**(5)](/man/enterprise-packages/font-unifont/unifont.5), [**unifont-johab631**(5)](/man/enterprise-packages/font-unifont/unifont-johab631.5), [**unifont-viewer**(1)](/man/enterprise-packages/font-unifont/unifont-viewer.1), [**unifont1per**(1)](/man/enterprise-packages/font-unifont/unifont1per.1), [**unifontchojung**(1)](/man/enterprise-packages/font-unifont/unifontchojung.1), [**unifontksx**(1)](/man/enterprise-packages/font-unifont/unifontksx.1), [**unifontpic**(1)](/man/enterprise-packages/font-unifont/unifontpic.1), [**unigen-hangul**(1)](/man/enterprise-packages/font-unifont/unigen-hangul.1), [**unigencircles**(1)](/man/enterprise-packages/font-unifont/unigencircles.1), [**unigenwidth**(1)](/man/enterprise-packages/font-unifont/unigenwidth.1), [**unihex2bmp**(1)](/man/enterprise-packages/font-unifont/unihex2bmp.1), [**unihex2png**(1)](/man/enterprise-packages/font-unifont/unihex2png.1), [**unihexfill**(1)](/man/enterprise-packages/font-unifont/unihexfill.1), [**unihexgen**(1)](/man/enterprise-packages/font-unifont/unihexgen.1), [**unihexpose**(1)](/man/enterprise-packages/font-unifont/unihexpose.1), [**unihexrotate**(1)](/man/enterprise-packages/font-unifont/unihexrotate.1), [**unijohab2html**(1)](/man/enterprise-packages/font-unifont/unijohab2html.1), [**unipagecount**(1)](/man/enterprise-packages/font-unifont/unipagecount.1), [**unipng2hex**(1)](/man/enterprise-packages/font-unifont/unipng2hex.1) # [AUTHOR](#AUTHOR) **hexdraw** was written by Roman Czyborra. # [LICENSE](#LICENSE) **hexdraw** is Copyright © 1998 Roman Czyborra.
