NAME

       pk2bm - create a bitmap from a TeX pkfont

SYNOPSIS
:
       pk2bm [-bh] [-Wwidth] [-Hheight] -cchar pkfont

       pk2bm [-bh] [-Wwidth] [-Hheight] -ooctchar pkfont

DESCRIPTION

       This  program  generates  a bitmap (ASCII file) which can be used to create X11 applications. The bitmap file consists of all pixels of the
       specified character (via the -c or -o option) from the given pkfont. The format is described in bitmap(X11).

       The pkfont is a packed fontfile generated by gftopk(TeX) from a gffont. A gffont is the output of METAFONT a program to design fonts  in  a
       device independant way.

       With  the  -b flag a bitmap is generated in which all black pixels are drawn as a `*' and all white bits as a `.'. With the -h flag a hexa-
       decimal bitmap dump is generated.

       The -W and/or -H options can be used to create a bitmap of respectivally `width' and `height' pixels. The pk-bitmap will in  this  case	be
       centered according to these new dimensions.

       The output is written to the standard output.
