NAME
       psfaddtable - add a Unicode character table to a console font

SYNOPSIS
       psfaddtable fontfile tablefile outfile

DESCRIPTION
       psfaddtable  takes  a  console  font  in .psf format given by fontfile and merges it with the Unicode character table
       given by tablefile to produce a font file with an embedded character table, which is written to	outfile.   An  input
       file name of "-" denotes standard input, and an output file name of "-" denotes standard output.	 If the fontfile alโ€
       ready contains an embedded character table, it is ignored.

TABLE FILE FORMAT
       Each  line  in the tablefile should be either blank, contain a comment (preceded by #), or contain a sequence of numโ€
       bers in either decimal (default), octal (preceded by 0), or hexadecimal (preceded by 0x) format, separated by  spaces
       or  tabs.   The first number on each line indicates the glyph slot in the font that is being referred to, this is beโ€
       tween 0 and 0xff for a 256-character font and 0 and 0x1ff for a 512-character font.  Any subsequent  numbers  on	 the
       same  line  are Unicodes matched by this specific glyph slot.  Instead of a single Unicode one may have a sequence of
       Unicodes separates by commas, to denote that the glyph depicts the corresponding composed symbol.  It is	 permissible
       to have multiple lines for the same glyph.
