NAME
       bdftosnf - BDF to SNF font compiler for X11

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	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.
