.SH NAME
unihexpose \- Convert a GNU Unifont glyph into column-major format
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBunihexpose \fP< \fIinput-font.hex \fP> \fItransposed-font.hex\fP
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B unihexpose
reads a sorted GNU Unifont .hex file from STDIN and writes a
transposed Unifont .hex file to STDOUT.  The output .hex file
contains glyphs encoded in column major format, with 8 rows per
output column.  This will simplify output of Unifont glyphs on
graphics displays with controller chips designed to autoincrement
across a line of 8 pixel rows, one column at a time.
.PP
The output .hex file contains a Unifont glyph in two halves:
the first half is the first 8 pixels rows, and the second half
the second 8 pixel rows.  The glyphs are 8 or 16 columns wide.
