You simply type the files from the command prompt and the escape sequences
in the file tell the terminal to load the font data rather than display it
on the screen.

Vt100 doesn't support soft char sets but vt220 on does.

I'm trying to figure out how to created and load a "soft character set"
into a vt220 terminal. These documents:
https://vt100.net/shuford/terminal/dec_vt220_codes.txt, and
https://vt100.net/docs/vt510-rm/DECDLD.html, seem to talk about how to do
it, but I don't follow this well. I'm guessing the fonts are made up of
escape sequences. Then I guess they are loaded by simply printing them to
the terminal. If that's the case, where are the examples of such sequences?
Playing around with vttest, there's an option to "Test Soft Character
Sets" in the "VT220 Tests" menu. But I get the error message
"You did not
specify a font-file with the -f option". Where can I find examples of that
file?
Putting these together, I'm guessing what vttest wants is a file
containing sequences described in those two documents. So, where do I go
from here?
