.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
utility loads a font bitmap to a wscons device if the device driver
supports it.
The font gets assigned a name in this process which it can be referred to
by later for use on a display screen.
The font is loaded from the specified
.Ar fontfile ,
or from
.Pa stdin
if
.Ar fontfile
is not provided.
.Pp
The options are as follows:
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Fl f Ar file
Specify the control device of the wscons display to operate on.
Default is
.Pa /dev/ttyEcfg .
.It Fl w Ar width
Sets the width of a font character in pixels.
Default is 8.
.It Fl h Ar height
Sets the height of a font character in pixels.
Default is 16.
.It Fl e Ar encoding
Sets the encoding of the font.
This can be either a symbolic abbreviation or a numeric value.
Currently recognized abbreviations are
.Dq iso
for ISO-8859-1 encoding,
.Dq ibm
for IBM encoded fonts, and
.Dq pcvt
for the custom encoding of the supplemental fonts which came with the BSD
.Xr pcvt 4
console driver.
Per default,
.Dq iso
is assumed.
.It Fl N Ar name
Specifies a name which can be used later to refer to the font.
In none is given, the
.Ar fontfile
name is used to create one.
.It Fl b
Specifies that the font data is ordered right-to-left bit wise.
The default is left-to-right.
.It Fl B
Specifies that the font data is ordered right-to-left byte wise.
The default is left-to-right.
.El
.Pp
Typically, the
.Nm
utility will be executed in system startup by the
.Pa /etc/rc.wscons
script, controlled by the
.Pa /etc/wscons.conf
configuration file.
.Pp
No font files are provided with the wscons framework.
The fonts installed by
.Xr pcvt 4
can be used instead, as can raw font files from other operating system
distributions.
.Sh EXAMPLES
The following examples demonstrate the functionality of
.Nm wsfontload .
.Pp
.Dl wsfontload -N myname -h 8 -e ibm /usr/share/pcvt/fonts/vt220l.808
.Pp
Load the IBM-encoded 8x8-font from the
.Xr pcvt 4
distribution.
This (or another 8x8-font) is necessary to use the 50-line screen type on
.Xr vga 4
displays.
.Sh FILES
.Bl -tag -width /etc/wscons.conf -compact
.It Pa /etc/wscons.conf
wscons configuration file
.El
.Sh SEE ALSO
.Xr wscons 4 ,
.Xr wsconscfg 8 ,
.Xr wsconsctl 8
.Sh HISTORY
The
.Nm
program appeared in
.Ox 2.8 .
.Sh BUGS
Many features are missing.
.Pp
There is no way to remove a loaded font.
