 Name

    snftobdf - SNF to BDF font decompiler for X11

 Syntax


    snftobdf [-l] [-L] [-m] [-M] [-p#] [-u#] snf-file


 Description

    snftobdf reads a Server Normal Format (SNF) font from the specified file
    and writes an X11 Bitmap Distribution Format (BDF) to standard output.

 Options


    -l        sets the font bit order to least significant bit first.  The
              left-most bit on the screen will be in the lowest valued bit in
              each unit.

    -L        sets the font byte order to least significant byte first.  All
              multi-byte data in the file (metrics, bitmaps, and so forth)
              will be written least significant byte first.

    -m        sets the font bit order to most significant bit first.  Bits
              for each glyph will be placed in this order; that is, the
              left-most bit on the screen will be in the highest valued bit
              in each unit.

    -M        sets the font byte order to most significant byte first.  All
              multi-byte data in the file (metrics, bitmaps, and so forth)
              will be written most significant byte first.

    -p#       sets the font glyph padding.  Each glyph in the font will have
              each scanline padded in to a multiple of # bytes, where # is 1,
              2, 4 or 8.

    -u#       sets the font scanline unit.  When the font bit order is dif-
              ferent from the font byte order, the scanline unit # describes
              what unit of data (in bytes) are to be swapped; the unit # can
              be 1, 2 or 4 bytes.

    snf-file  specifies the SNF font filename that should be compiled to a
              BDF font.
