The PSF Tools are a set of utilities for manipulation of console fonts in PSF (PC Screen Font) format. PSF Tools project can be used to convert to and from other font formats.

The PSF Tools are an attempt to do something similar to NetPBM, for simple fixed-width bitmap fonts.

Here are some key features of "PSF Tools":
The current release can convert the following formats to PSF:

Raw (DOS-style) font
Windows font (FNT, FON)
Sinclair Spectrum +3
MDA character ROM dump
DOS/Linux codepages (CP, CPI)
Hercules WriteOn (WOF)
Plain text

and PSF to the following formats:

Raw font
Windows font (FNT, FON)
Hercules WriteOn (WOF)
DOS codepages (CPI)
Sinclair Spectrum +3
BDF
C include file
XBM image containing all characters
Single PBM image for each character

What's New in This Release:
Custom codepage mapping tables can now be used in all utilities.
The built-in mapping tables for some codepages were missing characters; this has been corrected.
