BDFTOSNF(1)         X Version 11 (Release 4)          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 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.
