I am not the right person to comment on how good an OpenBSD
package is, but am glad to see bdf2psf getting packaged.
I am the GNU Unifont maintainer, and would like to package
Unifont for OpenBSD. I have a version that builds on OpenBSD
now, but it needs bdf2psf to build a 512-glyph font for
programming in APL in console mode.
Can OpenBSD use a PSF font with 512 glyphs? If not, I can
build it on OpenBSD but not install it.
Here is a copy of bdf2psf I put on my website in 2014
for those who don't have it on their system, if you want
something for comparison:
http://unifoundry.com/pub/bdf2psf/
It is arranged with files under /usr rather than /usr/local,
so I also thought of making a new tarball with the "/usr"
stripped from the path.
Here are the main pages describing the current release of
Unifont and the software that builds all of its fonts:
http://unifoundry.com/unifont/index.html
http://unifoundry.com/unifont/unifont-utilities.html
I plan to add a couple more programs in the next version that
will handle VGA console fonts that OpenBSD uses.
I have not packaged anything for OpenBSD and think it will be
a while before I have the package ready for review. I thought
I'd go over this now though because of your packaging bdf2psf.
Thank you,
Paul Hardy
