extract fonts from files

## NAME

fontdump - extract fonts from files

## SYNOPSIS

**fontdump \[FILE\]**

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **fontdump** command. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

**fontdump** can dump bitmap fonts of sizes 8x8, 8x14, and 8x16. You can then use them later with the commands setfont or consolechars.

## SEE ALSO

[**consolechars**(8)](/consolechars/8.md).
