NAME

bdftosnf − BDF to SNF font compiler for X11

SYNOPSIS

bdftosnf [−p#] [−s#] [−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. 

−s# 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 encoding 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.
