NAME

SYNOPSIS
bdftosnf [-p#] [-u#] [-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. -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
