+.SH NAME
+convfont \- convert font files for svgalib
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+
+.BI convfont " fontfile fontheight vgafontfile"
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+convert the standard format binary fontfile name
+.I fontfile
+to the codepage format required by
+.BR restorefont (1).
+The converted font is written to
+.IR vgafontfile .
+
+A binary font file of any number of characters up to 256 can be used, although
+at least defining the first 128 characters is a good idea. The
+.I fontheight
+must be in the range
+.BR 1 " - " 32 .
+
+The
+.I fontfile
+file consist of
+.I fontheight
+bytes stored sequentially (top to bottom) for each character in your
+font, starting with the character with code 0.
+
+The format of
+.I vgafontfile
+is that required by
+.BR restorefont (1)
+and described there.
+
+This utility is part of svgalib and can be found in the
+.I utils/
+subdirectory of the original svgalib distribution. However, it is not installed 
+by default, s.t. it is unclear where you can find it if your svgalib was install
+linux distribution.
+
+In case of any such problem, simply get an svgalib distribution from the net. You
+don't need to install it. Just
+.B make
+in the
+.I utils/
+subdirecty. As of this writing,
+.I svgalib-1.2.12.tar.gz
+is the latest version and can be retrieved by ftp from
+.IR "sunsite.unc.edu" " at " "/pub/Linux/libs/graphics"
+and
+.IR "tsx-11.mit.edu" " at " "/pub/linux/sources/libs"
+which will most probably be mirrored by a site close to you.
