pcf2bdf - convert X font from Portable Compiled Format to Bitmap Distribution Format

pcf2bdf [ -v ] [ -o outputfile ] [ fontfile.pcf[.gz] ]

Pcf2bdf is a font de-compiler. It converts X font from Portable Compiled Format (PCF) to Bitmap Distribution Format (BDF). It can also accept a compressed/gzipped PCF file as input, but gzip must be found in your PATH.

FONTBOUNDINGBOX in a BDF file is not used by bdftopcf , so pcf2bdf generates irresponsible values.

very verbose output.
By default pcf2bdf writes the bdf file to standard output; this option gives the name of a file to be used instead.
