pcf2bdf - convert X font from Portable Compiled Format to Bitmap Distribution Format
SYNOPSIS
pcf2bdf [ -v ] [ -o outputfile ] [ fontfile.pcf[.gz] ]
DESCRIPTION
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 generate 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.

bdftopcf - convert X font from Bitmap Distribution Format to Portable Compiled Format
SYNOPSIS
bdftopcf [ -pn ] [ -un ] [ -m ] [ -l ] [ -M ] [ -L ] [ -t ] [ -i ] [ -o outputfile ] fontfile.bdf
DESCRIPTION
Bdftopcf is a font compiler for the X server and font server. Fonts in Portable Compiled Format can be read by any architecture, although
the file is structured to allow one particular architecture to read them directly without reformatting. This allows fast reading on the
appropriate machine, but the files are still portable (but read more slowly) on other machines.
OPTIONS -pn Sets the font glyph padding. Each glyph in the font will have each scanline padded in to a multiple of n bytes, where n is 1, 2, 4
or 8.
-un Sets the font scanline unit. When the font bit order is different from the font byte order, the scanline unit n describes what
unit of data (in bytes) are to be swapped; the unit i can be 1, 2 or 4 bytes.
-m Sets the font bit order to MSB (most significant bit) first. Bits for each glyph will be placed in this order; i.e., the left most
bit on the screen will be in the highest valued bit in each unit.
-l Sets the font bit order to LSB (least significant bit) first. The left most bit on the screen will be in the lowest valued bit in
each unit.
-M Sets the font byte order to MSB first. All multi-byte data in the file (metrics, bitmaps and everything else) will be written most
significant byte first.
-L Sets the font byte order to LSB first. All multi-byte data in the file (metrics, bitmaps and everything else) will be written
least significant byte first.
-t When this option is specified, bdftopcf will convert fonts into "terminal" fonts when possible. A terminal font has each glyph
image padded to the same size; the X server can usually render these types of fonts more quickly.
-i This option inhibits the normal computation of ink metrics. When a font has glyph images which do not fill the bitmap image (i.e.,
the "on" pixels don't extend to the edges of the metrics) bdftopcf computes the actual ink metrics and places them in the .pcf
file; the -t option inhibits this behaviour.
-o output-file-name
By default bdftopcf writes the pcf file to standard output; this option gives the name of a file to be used instead.
