-p

prefix

font_file

AVAILABILITY

DESCRIPTION

Beginning from Solaris 2.6, user–defined characters can be handled as separate font files without editing existing font files.

sdtudc_extract is a utility for producing glyph output from font file to the standard output. Beginning from Solaris 8, sdtudc_extract_ps is removed and its functionalities are merged into sdtudc_extract.

Supported types of font file and output are as follows.

Bitmap font file (.bdf, .bdf.Z, .pcf, .pcf.Z)

sdtudc_extract extracts glyphs that correspond to the code point specified in the map file, converts their code point, and outputs them to the standard output in bdf.

When a bitmap font file is given to font_file, sdtudc_extract converts code point of codeset 1 9 ku – 15 ku to codeset 1 85 ku – 91 ku using map file listed below by default. You can change the range and target by modifying the map file.

map file :
- a9a1,a9ff f5a1
- aaa1,aaff f6a1
- aba1,abff f7a1
- aca1,acff f8a1
- ada1,adff f9a1
- aea1,aeff faa1
- afa1,afff fba1
When no map file is given, search for sdtudc_map is made at first in the directory sdtudc_extract was executed, and if it is not found there, /usr/dt/config/$LANG/sdtudc_map is accessed. If you wish to modify the map file, copy /usr/dt/config/$LANG/sdtudc_map to the working directory and edit the copy. For more informaiton about map file, See sdtudc_map(4).
User-defined character font file (.ps) created with type3creator and fontmanager, and user-defined character font file for Windows9X/NT (.ttf)

By default, sdtudc_extract extracts up to twenty Tyep1 font files with the prefix UDC per each 'ku' according to the total number of 'ku's in the regions for user-defined characters in Solaris 2.6. The following is the example where font file created with font manager is font.ps.
% sdtudc_extract font.ps UDC1.pfa ... Done UDC2.pfa ... Done : UDC20.pfa ... Done
After the procedure described above, move the extracted Type1 font file to the fixed directory. For more information, see the description for the porting of user-defined character in sdtudctool(1)

OPTIONS

Available options are shown below.

0: All input files were output normally.
>0: An error occurred.
