.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
.I Bdftopcf
|
||
|
|
is a font compiler for the X server and font server.
|
||
|
|
Fonts in Portable Compiled Format can be
|
||
|
|
read by any architecture, although the file is structured to allow one
|
||
|
|
particular architecture to read them directly without reformatting. This
|
||
|
|
allows fast reading on the appropriate machine, but the files are still
|
||
|
|
portable (but read more slowly) on other machines.
|
||
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
||
|
|
.TP 8
|
||
|
|
.B \-p\fIn\fP
|
||
|
|
Sets the font glyph padding. Each glyph in the font will have each scanline
|
||
|
|
padded in to a multiple of \fIn\fP bytes, where \fIn\fP is 1, 2, 4 or 8.
|
||
|
|
.TP 8
|
||
|
|
.B \-u\fIn\fP
|
||
|
|
Sets the font scanline unit. When the font bit order is different from the
|
||
|
|
font byte order, the scanline unit \fIn\fP describes what unit of data (in
|
||
|
|
bytes) are to be swapped; the unit \fIi\fP can be 1, 2 or 4 bytes.
|
||
|
|
.TP 8
|
||
|
|
.B \-m
|
||
|
|
Sets the font bit order to MSB (most significant bit) first. Bits for each
|
||
|
|
glyph will be placed in this order; i.e., the left most bit on the screen
|
||
|
|
will be in the highest valued bit in each unit.
|
||
|
|
.TP 8
|
||
|
|
.B \-l
|
||
|
|
Sets the font bit order to LSB (least significant bit) first. The left most
|
||
|
|
bit on the screen will be in the lowest valued bit in each unit.
|
||
|
|
.TP 8
|
||
|
|
.B \-M
|
||
|
|
Sets the font byte order to MSB first. All multi-byte data in the file
|
||
|
|
(metrics, bitmaps and everything else) will be written most significant byte
|
||
|
|
first.
|
||
|
|
.TP 8
|
||
|
|
.B \-L
|
||
|
|
Sets the font byte order to LSB first. All multi-byte data in the file
|
||
|
|
(metrics, bitmaps and everything else) will be written least significant
|
||
|
|
byte first.
|
||
|
|
.TP 8
|
||
|
|
.B \-t
|
||
|
|
When this option is specified,
|
||
|
|
.I bdftopcf
|
||
|
|
will convert fonts into "terminal" fonts when possible. A terminal font has
|
||
|
|
each glyph image padded to the same size; the X server can usually render
|
||
|
|
these types of fonts more quickly.
|
||
|
|
.TP 8
|
||
|
|
.B \-i
|
||
|
|
This option inhibits the normal computation of ink metrics. When a font has
|
||
|
|
glyph images which do not fill the bitmap image (i.e., the "on" pixels don't
|
||
|
|
extend to the edges of the metrics)
|
||
|
|
.I bdftopcf
|
||
|
|
computes the actual ink metrics and places them in the .pcf file; the \-t
|
||
|
|
option inhibits this behaviour.
|
||
|
|
.TP 8
|
||
|
|
.BI "\-o " output-file-name
|
||
|
|
By default
|
||
|
|
.I bdftopcf
|
||
|
|
writes the pcf file to standard output; this option gives the name of a file
|
||
|
|
to be used instead.
