BDFRESIZE(1)						      General Commands Manual						      BDFRESIZE(1)

NAME

       bdfresize - Resize BDF Format Font

SYNOPSIS

       bdfresize [-v] [-b number] [-[whf] factor] [bdf-file]

DESCRIPTION

       Bdfresize is a command to magnify or reduce fonts which are described with the standard BDF format.  If bdf-file is not specified, it reads
       from stdin.  Bdfresize outputs the result to stdout in BDF format.  Some COMMENT lines are inserted to the result font.	FONT name is modi-
       fied  depending on the resize factor if the name is described in XLFD format.  SIZE, FONTBOUNDINGBIX, SWIDTH, DWIDTH, BBX and some property
       lines are also modified.  Other lines are copied from source.  If a syntax error occurs in a source font, bdfresize notices  it	and  stops
       the whole process.

OPTIONS

       -v      Show the version number and exit.

       -b number
	       Specify the blackness.  Pixel values of a resized font are decided by this value.  Default is 4.

       -w factor
	       Specify the resize factor for the font width.

       -h factor
	       Specify the resize factor for the font height.

       -f factor
	       Same as ``-w factor -h factor''.

       factor is described in either of following forms.
	    <digits>
	    <digits>/<digits>
