Adding your faceD1360172159Aa#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/]#
