dxfc(1X)dxfc(1X)Namedxfc - BDF to PCF font compiler for X11
Syntaxdxfc [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.
