Introduction

What is fontopia
Fontopia is an easy-to-use, text-based, console font editor. Fontopia is not only a conversion tool, it includes complete features to re-size and manipulate glyphs, edit font metrics and other meta-data. Unlike other console font tools, fontopia works on both PSF 1 & 2, PCF, CP and Raw fonts. Type conversion is as simple as changing font type in memory and saving it to disk in the other version. Fontopia allows exporting and importing of Unicode tables from external files or other fonts. It provides a user-friendly, easy-to-use glyph editor. It can easily change font metrics, e.g. length, width, height, etc. It performs basic glyph operations like inversion, flipping, setting/unsetting bits, and much more. Fontopia is the first dedicated text-based editor for console fonts.
