-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.I Bdftopcf
-is a font compiler for the X server and font server.
-Fonts in Portable Compiled Format can be
-read by any architecture, although the file is structured to allow one
-particular architecture to read them directly without reformatting. This
-allows fast reading on the appropriate machine, but the files are still
-portable (but read more slowly) on other machines.
-.SH OPTIONS
-.TP 8
-.B \-p\fIn\fP
-Sets the font glyph padding. Each glyph in the font will have each scanline
-padded in to a multiple of \fIn\fP bytes, where \fIn\fP is 1, 2, 4 or 8.
-.TP 8
-.B \-u\fIn\fP
-Sets the font scanline unit. When the font bit order is different from the
-font byte order, the scanline unit \fIn\fP describes what unit of data (in
-bytes) are to be swapped; the unit \fIi\fP can be 1, 2 or 4 bytes.
-.TP 8
-.B \-m
-Sets the font bit order to MSB (most significant bit) first. Bits for each
-glyph will be placed in this order; i.e., the left most bit on the screen
-will be in the highest valued bit in each unit.
-.TP 8
-.B \-l
-Sets the font bit order to LSB (least significant bit) first. The left most
-bit on the screen will be in the lowest valued bit in each unit.
-.TP 8
-.B \-M
-Sets the font byte order to MSB first. All multi-byte data in the file
-(metrics, bitmaps and everything else) will be written most significant byte
-first.
-.TP 8
-.B \-L
-Sets the font byte order to LSB first. All multi-byte data in the file
-(metrics, bitmaps and everything else) will be written least significant
-byte first.
-.TP 8
-.B \-t
-When this option is specified,
-.I bdftopcf
-will convert fonts into "terminal" fonts when possible. A terminal font has
-each glyph image padded to the same size; the X server can usually render
-these types of fonts more quickly.
-.TP 8
-.B \-i
-This option inhibits the normal computation of ink metrics. When a font has
-glyph images which do not fill the bitmap image (i.e., the "on" pixels don't
-extend to the edges of the metrics)
-.I bdftopcf
-computes the actual ink metrics and places them in the .pcf file; the \-t
-option inhibits this behaviour.
-.TP 8
-.BI "\-o " output-file-name
-By default
-.I bdftopcf
-writes the pcf file to standard output; this option gives the name of a file
-to be used instead.
