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 charac‐
       ter 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 already  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 numbers in either decimal (default), octal (preceded by 0), or hexa‐
       decimal  (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 between 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.
