: When I converted "hanglg16.bdf", following error occured and generated font.c
had empty data.

I can't quite remember, but I think that convbdf
only works for fonts with < 256 characters. I'm
not a big Perl hacker, I'm sure a good Perl hacker
could convert convbdf to spit out font data for
16-bit wide fonts.
In addition, a few other changes would be required:
1. modify gen_gettextsize() in drivers/genfont.c
to accept 16-bit rather than 8-bit compiled-in
font character offsets (this is trivial, except for
the following)
2. It would be a good idea to modify the compiled-in
font structure to allow "sparse" arrays to be used
for the font data. That is, there would be an
additional array that would specify the size of the
each contiguous portion of the 16-bit font data,
so that the array wouldn't have to be 64k long.
Volunteers?
Regards,
Greg
