showsnf − print contents of an SNF file

SYNOPSIS

showsnf [-v] [-g] [-m] [-M] [-l] [-L] [-p#] [-u#]

DESCRIPTION

The showsnf utility displays the contents of font files in the Server Natural Format produced by bsdtosnf. It is usually only to verify that a font file has not been corrupted or to convert the individual glyphs into arrays of characters for proofreading or for conversion to some other format. 

FLAGS

−v This option indicates that character bearings and sizes should be printed. 

−g This option indicates that character glyph bitmaps should be printed. 

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

−l This option indicates that the bit order of the font is LSBFirst (least significant bit first). 

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

−L This option indicates that the byte order of the font is LSBFirst (least significant byte first). 

−p# This option specifies the glyph padding of the font (# is a number). 

−u# This option specifies the scanline unit of the font (# is a number). 

RESTRICTIONS

There is no way to just print out a single glyph.
