     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 encod-
               ing 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.
