- DOCUMENTATION FOR HMP2HFN.PL
-
- hmp2hfn.pl reads one or more hmp files and one or more font files in
- either the original Hershey format or in the HFN format and writes to
- the output a file in the HFN format, outputting only those symbols that
- are listed in the hmp files.
-
- The advantage of doing this filtering process, is that when the
- characters are loaded from disk, only characters that are needed are
- allocated into memory, which results in a significant memory saving.
-
- The syntax to run hmp2hfn.pl is
-
- perl hmp2hfn.pl hmpfile1.hmp [hmpfile2.hmp ...] fontfile1 > outfile.hfn
-
- Example:
-
- Create an hfn file of only gothic characters:
-
- perl hmp2hfn.pl gothgbt.hmp gothgrt.hmp hersh.oc* > gothic.hfn
