NAME

bdftosnf - BDF to SNF font compiler for X11

SYNOPSIS

bdftosnf [-p#] [-u#] [-m] [-l] [-M] [-L] [-w] [-W] [-t] [-i] [bdf-file]

DESCRIPTION

bdftosnf reads a Bitmap Distribution Format (BDF) font from the specified file (or from standard input if no file is specified) and writes an X11 server normal font (SNF) to standard output. 

OPTIONS

−p# Force the glyph padding to a specific number.  The legal values are 1, 2, 4, and 8. 

−u# Force the scanline unit padding to a specific number.  The legal values are 1, 2, and 4. 

−m Force the bit order to most significant bit first. 

−l Force the bit order to least significant bit first. 

−M Force the byte order to most significant bit first. 

−L Force the byte order to least significant bit first. 

−w Print warnings if the character bitmaps have bits set to one outside of their defined widths. 

−W Print warnings for characters with an encoding of -1; the default is to silently ignore such characters. 

−t Expand glyphs in "terminal-emulator" fonts to fill the bounding box. 

−i Don’t compute correct ink metrics for "terminal-emulator" fonts.
