I don't know very much about fontforge, but it seems that you can get it to generate bitmap BDF fonts. One may or may not be able to run vtfontcvt on that, it not being a general purpose BDF-processing tool, but having the BDF is at least something for people to work with. (A Unifont HEX file would be better, but fontforge doesn't seem capable of that from what I can see. And unibdf2hex has some documented limitations.)
> On FreeBSD the font can be installed with pkg install 3270font or from x11-fonts/3270font in the ports tree.
You could even hyperlink to the port's entry on FreshPorts, https://www.freshports.org/x11-fonts/3270font/ https://www.freshports.org/x11-fonts/3270font/ , although that seems to be having WWW server problems right at this moment. (See https://www.freshports.org/search.php?query=3270font&search=go https://www.freshports.org/search.php?query=3270font&search=... for search results, which are working at the moment, for me at least.)
And you are in the AUR at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/3270-fonts/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/3270-fonts/ by the way.
- rbanffy 6y agoI generated bitmaps once, but the generated fonts are terrible. It's better to convert the bitmap fonts from x3270 directly.
