 Description

    showsnf displays the contents of font files in the Server Natural Format
    produced by bdftosnf.  Use showsnf to verify that a font file is not cor-

            nificant bit first)

    -l      indicates that the bit order of the font is LSBFirst (least sig-
            nificant bit first).  The bit order of Xsco server fonts is

    -M      indicates that the byte order of the font is MSBFirst (most sig-
            nificant byte first).  The byte order of Xsco server fonts is
