Fail to bdfconv big u8x8 font

[My-point-is]

I'm trying to obtain u8x8 font from .bdf with height greater than 1 tile but converter cuts result to 1x1 tile and I get glyph array with 8 bytes per symbol. Big u8x8 fonts from "u8x8.h" are being rendered correctly but I need unicode subset.

bdfconv -v -f 2 -m "1024-1071>128" 7x14.bdf -o u8x8_7x14_cl.c -n u8x8_7x14_cl

I get it. In order to get full size glyph u8x8 font you must specify tile width and tile height explicitly. So it should be like this instead:
bdfconv -v -f 2 -th 1 -tv 2 -m "1024-1071>128" 7x14.bdf -o u8x8_7x14_cl.c -n u8x8_7x14_cl

May be it would be better if bdfconv caculated minimal tw and th to enclose the entire glyph in case tw and th are not specified explicitly?

hmmm yes, but difficult.

hmmm yes, but difficult.

As alternative you could add conversion log Note: about tv, th not being specified in case it is possible to get the sign through conversion that glyphs are probably being bigger than just 1x1 in tiles.
I think it would be helpfull for other users of converter as in my case I saw log line: Generate8x8Font: Tile size width=1 height=1 but it wasn't obvious for me that I need to specify those myself.
Thank you for you great work!

this i could indeed do...
