NAME
     bdftosnf - converts a BDF font to an SNF font

SYNOPSIS
     bdftosnf [-ppad] [-uscanline-unit] [-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 X11 server natural format (SNF) to
     standard output.

   Options
     The bdftosnf command accepts these options:

     -i      Prevents the computation of correct ink metrics for
             terminal-emulator fonts.

     -L      Forces the byte order to least significant bit
             first.

     -l      Forces the bit order to least significant bit first.

     -M      Forces the byte order to most significant bit first.

     -m      Forces the bit order to most significant bit first.

     -ppad   Forces the glyph padding to a specific number. Legal
             values for pad are 1, 2, 4, and 8.

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

     -uscanline-unit
             Forces the scanline unit padding to a specific
             number. Legal values for scanline-unit are 1, 2, and
             4.

     -W      Prints warnings for characters with an encoding of
             -1; the default is to silently ignore such charac-
             ters.

     -w      Prints warnings if the character bitmaps have bits
             set to 1 outside of their defined widths.
