SYNOPSISxudced [udc_file [WIDTHxHEIGHT]]
DESCRIPTIONxudced is an editor that creates, modifies, and deletes user-defined
characters (UDC). It uses bitmap(1) to edit UDC character patterns.
Character patterns from existing HP Asian fonts can be modified to cre‐
ate UDCs. xudced runs on the X Window System, Version 11.
If udc_file is not specified, the file $HOME/.nlio_udc is read.
WIDTHxHEIGHT sets the size of UDC pattern. This can be specified by
the udc_width and the udc_height resources. If it is not specified,
24x24 is used.
