psfxtable - handle Unicode character tables for console fonts

# [SYNOPSIS](#SYNOPSIS)

**psfxtable** \[**-i** *infont*] \[**-o** *outfont*] \[**-it** *intable*] \[**-ot** *outtable*] \[**-nt**]

# [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION)

**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. [**psfaddtable**(1)](/man/os/kbd/psfaddtable.1), [**psfgettable**(1)](/man/os/kbd/psfgettable.1) and [**psfstriptable**(1)](/man/os/kbd/psfstriptable.1) are links to it.

Each of the filenames *infont*, *outfont*, *intable*, and *outtable* may be replaced by a single dash (-), in which case standard input or standard output is used. If no *-i* option is given, the font is read from standard input. If no *-it* or *-o* or *-ot* 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 *-nt* causes output of a font without table. When *outfont* is requested it will get a psf1 header when infont has a psf1 header and *intable* does not have sequences and a psf2 header otherwise.
