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
Convert unihex to bdf
./unifont/src/hex2bdf qunifont.hex > qunifont.bdf
TODO: convert to OTF, add OpenType features, change metadata
