snftobdf(X)


snftobdf -- SNF to BDF font decompiler for X11

Syntax

snftobdf [-l] [-L] [-m] [-M] [-p#] [-u#] snf-file

Description

snftobdf reads a Server Normal Format (SNF) font from the specified file and writes an X11 Bitmap Distribution Format (BDF) to standard output.

Options


-l
sets the font bit order to least significant bit first. The left-most bit on the screen will be in the lowest valued bit in each unit.

-L
sets the font byte order to least significant byte first. All multi-byte data in the file (metrics, bitmaps, and so forth) will be written least significant byte first.

-m
sets the font bit order to most significant bit first. Bits for each glyph will be placed in this order; that is, the left-most bit on the screen will be in the highest valued bit in each unit.

-M
sets the font byte order to most significant byte first. All multi-byte data in the file (metrics, bitmaps, and so forth) will be written most significant byte first.

-p#
sets the font glyph padding. Each glyph in the font will have each scanline padded in to a multiple of # bytes, where # is 1, 2, 4 or 8.

-u#
sets the font scanline unit. When the font bit order is different from the font byte order, the scanline unit # describes what unit of data (in bytes) are to be swapped; the unit # can be 1, 2 or 4 bytes.

snf-file
specifies the SNF font filename that should be compiled to a BDF font.
