Sample input and output files?
The repo is great and I am trying to use it. Can you give some samples of input and output files?
I am trying to generate some Chinese dot matrix as a replacement for HZK16, but the output file doesn't looks right and doesn't work for my other program yet.
Thanks!
Hi. To generate the dot matrix font, you can use any vector font (e.g., 文泉驿).
This command will generate the dot matrix font named out.font, with 32 height:
gendotmatrix.py -o out.font -s "32x32" "input_vector.ttf"
This page also lists many other Chinese fonts for free: https://wiki.ubuntu.org.cn/%E5%85%8D%E8%B4%B9%E4%B8%AD%E6%96%87%E5%AD%97%E4%BD%93
Thanks. I tried that. But when I print the output file using less, I got pure symbols of the following for the whole file
^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@
That looks like an empty file for me.
My goal is to replace HZK16 in this repo. And I expect that your program would convert any ttf file into the same format as the HZK16 file.
What is the input font file? Make sure that the input input_vector.ttf file contains Chinese characters.
