Hi,
I tried http://czyborra.com/unifont.
As the Unicode HOWTO said, I do the following:
download http://czyborra.com/unifont/unifont.hex.gz
$ gunzip unifont.hex.gz
$ hex2bdf < unifont.hex > unifont.bdf
Then, I copied the unifont.bdf to
microwin/src/font.
When run "./convbdf unifont.bdf" there are error
messages:
"Use of uninitialized value at ./convbdf line 149,
<BDF> chunk 2933."
I looked at the convbdf code. There maybe
something wrong in the character width.
As the unicode HOWTO said, the font file is not
fixed size. It display European character in width 8,
while Chinese/Japanese character in width 16.
But I don't know perl very much. So I cannot make
a patch.....
Best Regrads,
Yi Yang
