Adding your face

#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.

#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.
