     showsnf - print contents of an SNF file

SYNOPSIS

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

             should be printed.

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

             is LSBFirst (least significant bit first).

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