     NAME
          bdftosnf - BDF to SNF font compiler for X11

     SYNOPSIS
          bdftosnf [-options ...] [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 natural font (SNF) to
          standard output.

     OPTIONS
          -p# Forces the glyph padding to a specific number.  The
              legal values are 1, 2, 4, and 8.

          -u# Forces the scanline unit padding to a specific number.
              The legal values are 1, 2, and 4.

          -m  Forces the bit order to the most significant bit first.

          -l  Forces the bit order to the least significant bit first.

          -M  Forces the byte order to the most significant byte
              first.

          -L  Forces the byte order to least significant byte first.

          -w  Prints warnings if you set the character bitmaps' bits
              to one outside of their defined widths.

          -W  Prints warnings for characters with an encoding of -1;
              These characters are ignored by default.

          -t  Expands glyphs in "terminal-emulator" fonts to fill the
              bounding box.

          -i  Does not compute correct ink metrics for "terminal-
              emulator" fonts.
