pcf2bdf1

Convert x font from portable compiled format to bitmap distribution format

Usage

pcf2bdf [-v] [-o outputfile] [fontfile.pcf [.gz]]

Overview

Pcf2bdf is a font de-compiler. It converts X font from Portable Compiled Format (PCF) to Bitmap Distribution Format (BDF). It can also accept a compressed/gzipped PCF file as input, but gzip must be found in your PATH.

FONTBOUNDINGBOX in a BDF file is not used by bdftopcf , so pcf2bdf generates irresponsible values.

Options

-v

very verbose output.

-o output-file-name

By default pcf2bdf writes the bdf file to standard output; this option gives the name of a file to be used instead.
