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.
