NAME
       pktopbm - convert packed (PK) format font into portable bitmap(s)

SYNOPSIS
       pktopbm pkfile[.pk] [ -x width ] [ -y height ] [-c num] pbmfile ...

DESCRIPTION
       Reads  a packed (PK) font file as input, and produces portable bitmaps as output. If the filename "-" is used for any of the filenames, the
       standard input stream (or standard output where appropriate) will be used. If either the width or height is specified, this value  will	be
       used for all bitmaps produced. Also if one or both values are specified, the bitmap will be relocated with the hoffset and voffset given in
       the pkfile. The basepoint will be placed in the lower left corner of the bitmap if the bitmap is bigger than the specified size it will	be
       truncated at the top or right.

OPTIONS
       -c num Sets the character number of the next bitmap written to num.

       -x width
	      Sets the width of the bitmap.

       -y width
	      Sets the height of the bitmap.
