NAME
      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 hasn't been corrupted or to convert the individual glyphs into
      arrays of characters for proofreading or for conversion to some other
      format.
