I bet someone can come up with a more definitive answer, but if I were to do this, I'd use something like xv to get an xbm file from the jpeg (probably with some manual massaging of the xbm afterwards). Then, you can do: xbmsize48 | xbm2ikon | compface (This last according to the exmh FAQ, question #6. As for me, someone at Bell Labs made my X-Face in 1994, using some combination of a Mac, an SGI Challenge running Plan 9, and a VAX running V10 UNIX. Don't try this at home, kids.) It's not clear to me if it's possible to express an image "deeper" than a 1-bit xbm image in an X-Face header. If you find out, please summarize...I'd like to believe I wouldn't look quite as ugly if I had more bits. :-) Bruce. --==_Exmh_-1880592744P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBNa2Po6jOOi0j7CY9AQEPbAP/c8wxfumW5lrG8KwstUrYk+OwEYN6Qry8 Cy3vrBLND73iRIdTYjNyDf6yWX+BkRVyRkMI7O3mgw16uldQzf3P50vFigRT9YYg sXk6PSrV0w2NkRrMxGO8Bq4ZL7K0VcSilzcrVHI5TW0QjZOIijWKyTHKvi5i8Ud+ njetelESFZU= =Y7Y/ -----END PGP MESSAGE----- --==_Exmh_-1880592744P-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
