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 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.
