NAME
       xfed - font editor for X Window System BDF font files

SYNOPSIS
       xfed [options] filename.bdf

DESCRIPTION
       xfed  lets  you interactively edit existing bdf-fontfiles.
       When started, xfed, opens up a window showing a	magnified
       version	of  the characters  in the font.  There are four
       buttons to interact with xfed , two  stepping  buttons  to
       advance	to  the previous/next	character  in the font, a
       write-file button and an exit button.
       If you leave xfed without pressing  the	write-button,  no
       changes	will  be  written  to the fontfile; otherwise the
       original fontfile is saved to a	backup	file  (filename~)
       and the new output written onto the original fontfile.

       xfed accepts the following command line arguments:

       -fg colorname
	       as usual - default is black

       -bg colorname
	       as usual - default is white

       -bd colorname
	       as usual - default is black
		note,  that this color is also used for the grid;
	       'xfed -bd red ...' looks nice.

       -bw number
	       as usual - default is 1

       -nogrid do not draw a grid (not very useful)

       -psize number
	       to change the pixel magnification factor (default
	       16)

COMMANDS
       When  the  cursor is in the edit region, each mouse button
       has a different effect upon the square that the cursor  is
       over.

       The left mouse button turns a pixel to black

       The right mouse button turns a pixel to white

       The  middle mouse button inverts a pixel, turning it white
       if it was black, or black if it was white.

ENVIRONMENT
       DISPLAY - the default host and display number.

BUGS
       Many edit features are missing.

       Should be able to change font characteristics and  charac-
       ter properties.

       There  is no way to write to a file other than that speci-
       fied on the command line.

       Should let you set the display font for the info windows.
       Rewriting as a toolkit program would solve this.

       The  size of the grid and bounding box displayed sometimes
       seem wrong.  The bbx computation in parse.y may be  incor-
       rect.

       If  you move the mouse too fast while holding a mouse but-
       ton down, some squares may be missed.  This is  caused  by
       limitations  in how frequently the X server can sample the
       mouse location.
