How To Install bdf2psf on Fedora 34
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install bdf2psf on Fedora 34.
What is bdf2psf
This package provides a command-line converter that can be used in scripts to build console fonts from BDF sources automatically. The converter comes with a collection of font encodings that cover many of the world’s languages. The output font can use a different character encoding from the input. When the source font does not define a glyph for a particular symbol in the encoding table, that glyph position in the console font is not wasted but used for another symbol.
