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.
