NAME
       ucs2any - generate BDF fonts containing subsets of ISO 10646-1 codepoints

SYNOPSIS
       ucs2any [ +d | -d ] source-name { mapping-file registry-encoding } ...

DESCRIPTION
       ucs2any  allows  one to generate from an ISO 10646-1 encoded BDF font other BDF fonts in any possible
       encoding.  This way, one can derive from a single ISO 10646-1 master font a whole set of 8-bit  fonts
       in all ISO 8859 and various other encodings.

OPTIONS
       +d     puts  DEC  VT100  graphics  characters  in  the  C0 range (default for upright, character-cell
              fonts).

       -d     omits DEC VT100 graphics characters from the C0 range  (default  for  all  font  types  except
              upright, character-cell fonts).

OPERANDS
       source-name
              is the name of an ISO 10646-1 encoded BDF file.

       mapping-file
              is  the  name of a character set table like those at <ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/>.
              These files can also typically be found installed in the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/util/ direc-tory. directory.
              tory.

       registry-encoding
              are  the  CHARSET_REGISTRY  and  CHARSET_ENCODING field values for the font name (XLFD) of the
              target font, separated by a hyphen.

       Any number of mapping-file and registry-encoding operand pairs may be specified.

EXAMPLE
       The command
              ucs2any 6x13.bdf 8859-1.TXT iso8859-1 8859-2.TXT iso8859-2
       will generate the files 6x13-iso8859-1.bdf and 6x13-iso8859-2.bdf.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS
       Hopefully a future release will have a facility similar to ucs2any built into the server,  and  reen-code reencode
       code  ISO 10646-1 on the fly, because storing the same fonts in many different encodings is clearly a
       waste of storage capacity.
