Adding your face D1360172159 Aa #face(6) files are low resolution images that symbolize a person or #group of people, for example a user, a company, a network provider, #or a country. # #These files are read by the faces(1) command which uses them to #display in its window, a small image for each user's mail box #message. # #face files are usually created by rescaling either a gif or jpg #image. # #! jpg -c myface.jpg | iconv -c m8 | resample -x 48 -y 48 > myface.1 # #If the image contains more than just your face or if the exposure is #non-optimal, Russ Cox has written a tool which allows you to trim #and adjust your image, though this only writes black and white #images. # #Mug insists for its input to be at least 100x100 pixels and the line #below adds a white border around the image which is useful - giving #you room to maneuver when editing. # #! jpg -c myface.jpg | resample -x 100 | crop -b 255 255 255 -i -30 | mug > face.1 # #The manual page is mug(1). # #Once you have created your face, install it in #/lib/face/48x48x8/f/face.1 (your directory path may vary) and edit #/lib/face/.machines and /lib/face/48x48x8/.dict as appropriate (see #faces(1)). # #[9srv.net] maintains a public faces database. If you do not have a #9srv account, you can execute #! cd /lib/face && con -l tcp!9srv.net!50001 | gunzip | tar -x #which will create a README file, a "people" directory, and a #"domains" directory. This will not overwrite anything in the #standard distribution or changes you've made to .machinelist or any #of the 48x48xn directories. The README file contains more examples #for generating faces. If your email address consists of only the #characters [a-zA-Z0-9.@], you can add your face to the list by #sending a correctly-generated face(6) file as an email attachment to #add at face dot 9srv dot net. Submissions for folks with other email #addresses, as well as for additional domains, will be handled #manually; email a at 9srv dot net. # #SEE ALSO # #[Face the Nation by Rob Pike and David L. Presotto | #http://doc.cat-v.org/bell_labs/face_the_nation/]. # #There is a database of faces (picons in their terminology) at #Indinana University. This includes the Usenix Face saver project #archives, many company logos, and other misc images. #[http://ftp.cs.indiana.edu/pub/faces/picons/ | #http://ftp.cs.indiana.edu/pub/faces/picons/] #
