## Drawing new Qunifont glyphs (in pads)
Download, extract and rename the last Unifont tar.gz file (https://unifoundry.com/pub/unifont/?C=M;O=D) to get access to the Unifont utilities scripts
curl https://unifoundry.com/pub/unifont/unifont-16.0.01/unifont-16.0.01.tar.gz -o unifont.tar.gz
tar -xvf unifont.tar.gz
mv unifont-16.0.01 unifont
Change the GLYPH_MAX_WIDTH variable from hex2otf.c to 64 and compile it with `gcc unifont/src/hex2otf.c -o hex2otf`
#define GLYPH_MAX_WIDTH 64 ///< Maximum glyph width, in pixels.
Draw glyphs in a pad following this format (hexadecimal identifier):

Run `padascii2uniascii` to download the pad's content and format it for the Unifont utilities (uniascii)
./padascii2uniascii.sh http://88.127.187.90:9001/p/qunifont > qunifont.txt
Use the Unifont hex glyphs as a base file
cp unifont/font/planee00/unifont-base.hex qunifont.hex
Convert uniascii to unihex and add them to the base file
./unifont/src/hexdraw qunifont.txt >> qunifont.hex
TODO: remove duplicate id
???
Convert unihex to bdf
./unifont/src/hex2bdf qunifont.hex > qunifont.bdf
Convert unihex to otf, --help for format list
./unifont/src/hex2otf hex=qunifont.hex out=qunifont.otf format=truetype
TODO: add OpenType features, change metadata
## Other useful commands
Convert unihex to png preview table (-p for plage)
./unifont/src/unihex2png -i qunifont.hex -o qunifont.png -p 0
Convert unihex to sfd
./unifont/src/hex2sfd < qunifont.hex > qunifont.sfd
