NAME
       pbmtopk	-  convert  a  portable bitmap into a packed (PK)
       format font

SYNOPSIS
       pbmtopk pkfile[.pk] tfmfile[.tfm] resolution  [-s  design-
       size] [-p num param...]	[-C codingscheme] [-F family] [-f
       optfile] [-c num] [-W width] [-H height] [-D  depth]  [-I
       ital]  [-h  horiz]  [-v	vert]  [-x  xoff] [-y yoff] [pbm-
       file]...

DESCRIPTION
       Reads portable bitmaps as input, and  produces	a  packed
       (PK) font file and a TFM (TeX font metric) file as output.
       The resolution parameter indicates the resolution  of  the
       font,  in  dots	per inch. If the filename "-" is used for
       any of the filenames, the standard input stream (or  stan-
       dard output where appropriate) will be used.

OPTIONS
       -s designsize
	      Sets  the design size of the font, in TeX's points
	      (72.27pt to the inch). The default design size  is
	      1. The TFM parameters are given as multiples of the
	      design size.

       -p num param...
	      Sets the first num font parameters  for  the  font.
	      The first seven parameters are the slant, interword
	      spacing, interword space stretchability,	interword
	      space  shrinkability,  x-height,	quad  width,  and
	      post-sentence extra space of  the font.	Math  and
	      symbol fonts may have more parameters; see The TeX-
	      book for a list of these. Reasonable default values
	      are  chosen for parameters which are not specified.

       -C codingscheme
	      Sets the coding scheme comment in the TFM file.

       -F family
	      Sets the font family comment in the TFM file.

       -f optfile
	      Reads the file  optfile,	which  should  contain	a
	      lines of the form:

		 filename xoff yoff horiz vert width height depth ital

	      The  pbm files specified by the filename parameters
	      are inserted consecutively in  the  font	with  the
	      specified attributes. If any of the attributes are
	      omitted, or replaced with "*", a default value will
	      be calculated from the size of the bitmap. The set-
	      tings of the -W, -H, -D, -I, -h,	-v,  -x,  and  -y

	      options  do not affected characters created in this
	      way.   The  character  number  can  be  changed  by
	      including a line starting with "=", followed by the
	      new number.  Lines beginning with "%"  or "#"  are
	      ignored.

       -c num Sets  the character  number  of	the  next  bitmap
	      encountered to num.

       -W width
	      Sets the TFM width of the next character	to  width
	      (in design size multiples).

       -H height
	      Sets the TFM height of the next character to height
	      (in design size multiples).

       -D depth
	      Sets the TFM depth of the next character	to  depth
	      (in design size multiples).

       -I ital
	      Sets the italic correction of the next character to
	      ital (in design size multiples).

       -h horiz
	      Sets the horizontal escapement of the next  charac-
	      ter to horiz (in pixels).

       -v vert
	      Sets  the vertical escapement of the next character
	      to vert (in pixels).

       -x xoff
	      Sets the horizontal offset of the next character to
	      xoff (in pixels).

       -y yoff
	      Sets  the vertical offset of the next character to
	      yoff (in pixels, from the top row).
