Usage

This program uses the Sharp MZ character and monitor ROMs for the display character sets and the interchange character set respectively.

make

The make subcommand creates a font that contains three character sets in the UTF-8 Private Use Area. The interchange character set is stored at 0xe000, the primary display character set is stored ad 0xe100 and the alternate display character set is stored ad 0xe200. The default font is left unchanged.

retrofont make mz700fon.int 1z-013a.rom ~/.local/share/fonts/SharpMZ.ttf
fc-cache -fv ~/.local/share/fonts

Open a new terminal that uses the Sharp MZ font.

foot -f SharpMZ

default

The default subcommand additionally changes the default font, uses square characters and removes line spacing.

retrofont default mz700fon.int 1z-013a.rom ~/.local/share/fonts/SharpMZD.ttf
fc-cache -fv ~/.local/share/fonts

Open a new terminal that uses the Sharp MZ default font.

foot -f SharpMZD

test

The test subcommand shows all three character sets.

retrofont test

If the make subcommand was used to create the font, the output should look as follows.

If the default subcommand was used to create the font, the output should look as follows.
