SHOWSNF(1)                      X11 5.4R3.00                      SHOWSNF(1)


NAME
       showsnf - print contents of an SNF file

SYNOPSIS
       showsnf [-v] [-g] [-m] [-M] [-l] [-L] [-p#] [-u#]

DESCRIPTION
       The showsnf utility displays the contents of font files in the Server
       Natural Format produced by bsdtosnf.  It is usually only to verify
       that a font file hasn't been corrupted or to convert the individual
       glyphs into arrays of characters for proofreading or for conversion
       to some other format.

OPTIONS
       -v      This option indicates that character bearings and sizes
               should be printed.

       -g      This option indicates that character glyph bitmaps should be
               printed.

       -m      This option indicates that the bit order of the font is
               MSBFirst (most significant bit first).

       -l      This option indicates that the bit order of the font is
               LSBFirst (least significant bit first).

       -M      This option indicates that the byte order of the font is
               MSBFirst (most significant byte first).

       -L      This option indicates that the byte order of the font is
               LSBFirst (least significant byte first).

       -p#     This option specifies the glyph padding of the font (# is a
               number).

       -u#     This option specifies the scanline unit of the font (# is a
               number).
