BDFTOSNF(1)         UNIX Programmer's Manual          BDFTOSNF(1)



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 byte first.

     -L      Force the byte order to least significant bytefirst.

     -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 charac-
             ters.

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

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