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
