Name
       dxfc - BDF to PCF font compiler for X11

Syntax
       dxfc [options] [file]

Description
       The  dxfc  font	compiler  reads a Bitmap Distribution Format (BDF) font from the specified .bdf file (or from standard input if no file is
       specified) and writes an X11 portable compiled font (PCF) to standard output.

Options
       -p#     Force the glyph padding to a specific number.  The legal values are 1, 2, 4, and 8.

       -s#     Force the scanline unit padding to a specific number.  The legal values are 1, 2, and 4.

       -m      Force the bit order to most significant bit first.

       -l      Force the bit order to least significant bit first.

       -M      Force the byte order to most significant bit first.

       -L      Force the byte order to least significant bit first.

       -w      Print warnings if the character bitmaps have bits set to one outside of their defined widths.

       -W      Print warnings for characters with an encoding of -1; the default is to silently ignore such characters.

       -t      Expand glyphs in "terminal-emulator" fonts to fill the bounding box.

       -i      Don't compute correct ink metrics for "terminal-emulator" fonts.
