fnt2bdf — convert VGA raw fonts to X11 BDF
fnt2bdf [-x] [-n fontname] [-w fontwidth] file
Converts a raw font FNT file (4096 bytes) to a BDF file, suitable for bdf2pcf, which can then serve as an X11 font.
For best results, fontname should be the same as the later filename (w/o .bdf). Output is always standard output. The default for "fontname" is "defaultXXXX" otherwise, default for -w is 9.
To actually use fonts in e.g. xterm, they need to be present as PCF files.
