hexdraw - Convert a GNU Unifont .hex file to and from an ASCII text file

hexdraw [--height height] < input-font.hex > output-font.txt
hexdraw [--height height] < input-font.txt > output-font.hex

hexdraw reads a sorted GNU Unifont .hex file from STDIN and writes a two dimensional ASCII art rendering for each glyph to STDOUT. The output file can be edited with any text editor, then converted back into a .hex file. Unifont ASCII hexadecimal glyphs are 16 pixels high and can be 8, 16, 24, or 32 pixels wide.

By default, hexdraw expects glyphs to be 16 rows high. Alternatively, a different height of 24, 32, or 64 can be specified, for glyphs that are up to 128 columns wide by 64 rows high.
