CPI is a file format describing DOS code page fonts.
There is also a compressed "DRFONT" variant.
FreeDOS MODE also supports CPX files in addition to CPI; they are CPI files compressed with UPX as if they were COM files.
Identification
Normal uncompressed files begin with 0xff "FONT ".
DRFONT files begin with 0x7f "DRFONT ".
Software
- PSF Tools
- cpi2psf, psfs2cpi - Read, write
- cpicomp, cpidcomp - Compress, decompress
- cpitest - Dump information about the file (not normally installed)
