Name
       dxfc - BDF to PCF font compiler for X11

Syntax
       dxfc [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.
