This way, one can derive from a single ISO 10646-1 master font a whole set of 8-bit fonts in all ISO 8859 and various other encodings.OPTIONS
OPERANDS
Any number of mapping-file and registry-encoding operand pairs may be specified. EXAMPLEThe command
FUTURE DIRECTIONSHopefully a future XFree86 release will have a facility similar to ucs2any built into the server, and reencode ISO 10646-1 on the fly, because storing the same fonts in many different encodings is clearly a waste of storage capacity.SEE ALSObdftruncate(1)AUTHORucs2any was written by Markus Kuhn.Branden Robinson wrote this manual page, originally for the Debian Project.
