If you can get the character bitmaps out of your fontfile (if necessary
with something like getbdf for X fonts), it's pretty trivial to convert
them to a wscons loadable file.

Pick any of the files in /usr/share/pcvt/fonts.  Convert each byte of
the file to 8-bit binary.  Display it with, say, * for 1 bits and . for
0 bits.  Character glyphs will jump out at you.

There is no framing information, like widths and heights; all that
stuff is passed on the wsfontload command line.
