NAME

dclfont - display the font table (character map) for DCL

SYNOPSIS

dclfont [ options ]

DESCRIPTION

dclfont is a utility program included in the GFD Dennou Club Library (DCL). It displays a character map table for the currently selected DCL font.

The program opens a 600x600 pixel window and draws a 16x16 grid.

  • It iterates through character codes from 0 to 255.
  • Each cell displays the character glyph corresponding to the code.
  • The decimal value of the character code is displayed in small text at the top-right corner of each cell.

This utility is useful for verifying available characters and their corresponding codes in different DCL fonts (e.g., standard, italic, gothic).

OPTIONS

dclfont accepts standard DCL runtime parameters. The most relevant option for this utility is:

Specify the font index number to display (default: 1).
Changing this value allows you to inspect different font sets provided by DCL.
Specify the window width (default: 600).
Specify the window height (default: 600).

EXAMPLES

To display the default font table (Font 1):

$ dclfont

To display the font table for Font 2 (often a different typeface or style):

$ dclfont -sg:ifont=2

To save the font table as a PDF file:

$ dclfont -sw:ws pdf
