fstobdf(X)                    06 January 1993                     fstobdf(X)


 Name

    fstobdf - BDF font generator

 Syntax


    fstobdf [{-s | -server} host:port] -fn fontname


 Description

    The fstobdf program reads a font from a font server and prints a BDF file
    on the standard output that may be used to recreate the font.  This is
    useful in testing servers, debugging font metrics, and reproducing lost
    BDF files.

 Options


    {-s | -server} host:port
                        specifies the server from which the font should be
                        read.  host specifies the host machine name where the
                        X font server is running and port is set to 7000 by
                        default.

    -fn fontname        specifies the font for which a BDF file should be
                        generated.  Use fslsfonts to determine the font name
                        you wish to generate.
