.SH NAME
|
|
bdftruncate \- generate truncated BDF font from ISO 10646-1-encoded BDF font
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B bdftruncate
|
|
.I threshold
|
|
.B <
|
|
.I source.bdf
|
|
.B >
|
|
.I destination.bdf
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B bdftruncate
|
|
allows one to generate from an ISO10646-1 encoded BDF font other ISO10646-1
|
|
BDF fonts in which all characters above a threshold code value are stored
|
|
unencoded. This is often desirable because the Xlib API and X11 protocol
|
|
data structures used for representing font metric information are extremely
|
|
inefficient when handling sparsely populated fonts.
|
|
.SH EXAMPLE
|
|
The command
|
|
.RS
|
|
bdftruncate 0x3200 < 6x13.bdf > 6x13t.bdf
|
|
.RE
|
|
will generate the file 6x13t.bdf in which all glyphs with codes
|
|
>= 0x3200 will only be stored unencoded (i.e., they are encoded at
|
|
codepoint -1).
