bdftosnf(1)bdftosnf(1)NAMEbdftosnf - BDF to SNF font compiler for X11
SYNOPSISbdftosnf [ -p# ] [ -u# ] [ -m ] [ -l ] [ -M ] [ -L ] [ -w ] [ -W ] [ -t
] [ -i ] [ bdf-file ]
DESCRIPTIONbdftosnf reads a Bitmap Distribution Format (BDF) font from the speci‐
fied 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.
WARNING
SNF is an older font file format that is replaced by the Portable Com‐
piled Format (PCF). PCF is the preferred format for font files and one
can use bdftopcf(1) to convert a BDF font file to a PCF font file.
