These are only warnings.

That's just not checking the number of args. I have now fixed it.

And eventually fails because of missing args.

€ bdf2psf --help
Usage:
bdf2psf [--fb|--raw][--log LOG] BDF{+BDF} EQUIV{+EQUIV} SYMB{+[:]SYMB} SIZE PSF
[SFM]
--fb Create font for framebuffer.
--raw Create a raw font (SIZE*8 bytes)
--log A log file for warnings.
BDF{+BDF} A list of BDF fonts. The fonts listed first take precedence
when several fonts define glyphs for same unicode.
EQUIV{+EQUIV} A list of equivalents files. Each non-empty line in these files
contains a list of unicodes to be considered equal (for all of
them only one position number in the PSF will be reserved).
SYMB{+SYMB} Files containing lists of symbols to include in the PSF font.
Unicodes listed first take precedence. When a file name is
preceeded by a colon, no warnings about missing symbols in
the BDF fonts will be issued.
SIZE Create PSF font with how many character positions
(usually 256 or 512).
PSF The new font. If a file with this name already exists,
it will be overwritten
SFM The SFM table of the PSF font. If a file with this name already
exists, it will be overwritten. Optional.
The tool needs more than just the bdf file, see man bdf2psf
With regards,
Samuel
