NAME

fontflip_to_i386 − change a vfont file

fontflip_to_68k − change a Sun386i vfont

SYNOPSIS

fontflip_to_i386 fontname [-o newfontname ]

fontflip_to_68k fontname [-o newfontname ]

AVAILABILITY

Sun386i systems only. 

DESCRIPTION

fontflip_to_386i takes as input a vfont file (Sun-3 fixedwidthfont) and creates a Sun386i vfont. This new font is a bitflipped version of its input.  The new font is named oldfont.i386 unless otherwise specified. 

fontflip_to_68k takes as input a Sun386i vfont file (fixedwidthfont) and creates a Sun-3 vfont file (also used by Sun-2 and Sun-4 systems).  If the input font has the name font.i386, the new font will have the .i386 extension stripped off, resulting in the name font.  If the input file does not have the .i386 extension, then the −o switch must be used to specify the output file. 

By default, the system appends the suffix .i386 to a font name before it opens the font and attempts to use it.  If the system doesn’t find the font, it then opens the font name specified, which by convention is a Sun-3 font.  You can use either format of font, but system performance improves with use of the Sun386i format fonts.  These two utilities allow you to convert between the two formats.  Sun ships both formats in /usr/lib/fonts/fixedwidthfonts.  Typically only developers will need to employ these utilities. 

OPTIONS

-o filename Specify the name of the new flipped font.
