Drawing new Qunifont glyphs in a pad

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

see unifont/src/hex2otf

Change the GLYPH_MAX_WIDTH variable in hex2otf.c to 64 and compile it with gcc unifont/src/hex2otf.c -o unifont/src/hex2otf

#define GLYPH_MAX_WIDTH 64	///< Maximum glyph width, in pixels.

Draw glyphs in a pad following this format (hexadecimal identifier):

./mergehex.sh

Convert unihex to bdf

./unifont/src/hex2bdf qunifont.hex > qunifont.bdf
