File Format
Name Vfont
Ontology
Released ~1988

vfont is a variable-sized bitmap font found on BSD and SunOS systems. Files may contain up to 256 character bitmaps.

If a file extension is used, it tends to reflect the point size of the font (eg: .12, .14) rather than indicate the file type.

Identification

Files begin with bytes 0x1E 0x01 (little-endian systems) or 0x01 0x1E (big-endian systems). A program processing vfont data should be prepared to handle files with either byte order.

Specifications

Sample files

  • [1] → vfont.tar.gz -- fonts in little-endian format.
