BDFTOSNF(1X11)          COMMAND REFERENCE          BDFTOSNF(1X11)



NAME
     bdftosnf - BDF to SNF font compiler for X11

SYNOPSIS
     bdftosnf [ -p# ] [ -u# ] [ -m ] [ -l ] [ -M ] [ -L ] [ -w ]
     [ -W ] [ -t ] [ -i ] [ bdf-file ]

     This is a supported client.

DESCRIPTION
     The program 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 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.
