* psftools-1.1.1 released.
* Core functions added to support the Berkeley Unix vfont format,
a variable-width font format that otherwise has similar
capabilities to PSF1.
* Also supports a new 'vfont2' format, aiming at lossless conversion
PSF2 -> vfont2 -> PSF2.
* New utilities to support vfont: psf2vfont, vfont2psf, txt2vfont,
vfont2txt, vfont2ppm.
ChangeLog:
2021-01-12 John Elliott
* psftools-1.1.0 released.
* ams2psf, psf2ams: Now support SCRCHAR.JOY, the LocoScript screen
font file.
* psf2ams: A short .PSF font converted to a .COM file will now only
redefine those characters defined by the .PSF font.
2020-12-22 John Elliott
* Support added for (internal and external) code page mappings
with more than 256 characters. The format of the .CP2 files used
to hold these mappings has been changed accordingly.
* Codepage names are now matched case-insensitively.
* New codepages: LS3 (LocoScript 3), QX10 (Epson QX-10) and PRINTIT
(MML Systems Printit, a subset of QX10)
* raw2psf: Bugfix: --codepage was not setting the Unicode mapping on
the last character in the font.
* psf2ams: If passed an 8x16 font, the self-loading COM file now
loads it at full height on the PCW16 (and scales it down
on other computers).
* psf2xbm: Added an --across option allowing the width of the output
bitmap to be changed (height is adjusted to match).
pkglint -r --network --only "migrate"
As a side-effect of migrating the homepages, pkglint also fixed a few
indentations in unrelated lines. These and the new homepages have been
checked manually.

(upstream changes)
2019-07-05 John Elliott
* psftools-1.0.13 released.
2019-05-17 John Elliott
* zx2psf: Added 'move1' mode to zx2psf - like 'bare' but remaps the
pound and copyright to their ISO-8859-1 positions. [Damien
Guard]
2019-03-19 John Elliott
* psftools-1.0.12 released.
* fnt2psf: Changed the Windows 1.x font extract to seek to the
character bitmap rather than assuming it directly follows the
widths table.
2017-03-17 John Elliott
* cpi2psf: Was unable to parse LCD.CPI from Toshiba MS-DOS 3.30,
which is slightly out of spec.
* Updated GEM codepage now that there's a Unicode dingbat for 'bell'.
(U+1F514).
2012-01-81 John Elliott
* loadpsf: Support for Wang PC colour and mono video cards. Does
not support 'CGDC' or 'IBM emulation' card types.
2010-11-14 John Elliott
* Updated build scripts to a more recent autoconf / automake.
2009-05-03 John Elliott
* loadpsf: Added support for Compaq Portable plasma displays.
2008-06-21 John Elliott
* psftools-1.0.8 released.
* psfs2mda: Created new utility to build an MDA character ROM image.
* mda2psf: Added a --compaq option to match the --compaq option in
psfs2mda(1).

* Codepages: The PPCGREEK codepage had the two lower-case sigmas the
wrong way round. Various other corrections made to the PPCGREEK and
PPC860 codepages.
* psf2bbc: Converts a PSF font to a BBC Micro soft font.
* bbc2psf: Reverses psf2bbc; converts a BBC Micro soft font to PSF.
* The BBCMICRO codepage now covers characters 32-255.
most sense to me to bump the revision if there're changes). I thought
it would be nice to have this in pkgsrc for the upcoming release.
In this release: The author of psftools, John Elliot
<jce@seasip.demon.co.uk>, has kindly written a utility for the NetBSD
community which produces wsfont kernel headers from psf-format fonts--
and does a fantastic job of it, at that. If you're interested, install
this package and see the psf2bsd(1) manual page.
Also in this update:
* psf2wyse: New utility to convert a PSF to a soft font that can be
uploaded into a Wyse-60 or compatible terminal.
* wyse2psf: Reverses psf2wyse; converts a Wyses soft font to PSF.
The PSFTOOLS are designed to manipulate fixed-width bitmap fonts, such as
DOS or Linux console fonts. Both the PSF1 (8 pixels wide) and PSF2
(any width) formats are supported; the default output format is PSF2.
Note that these programs share no code with the Linux console utilities
(kbd).
NOTE: One may use the psf2txt utility to generate data for inclusion in
NetBSD's (or OpenBSD's) wscons built-in kernel font headers. Currently,
the output requires some additional processing; I may add additional
functionality in the future, though anyone who wishes to contribute
patches is encouraged to do so! ;)
