ViewStation getbdf Font Utility

This page describes the ViewStation's getbdf font utility program.

getbdf Font Utility Program
The getbdf program creates a .bdf font file from a file of different format. It reads the font data using various X tools (xlib), and reconstructs the original .bdf file. This utility is especially useful for systems that have only precompiled font files.

The getbdf utility uses this command line:

getbdf [-d display] -fn <fontname>

where [-d display] specifies the target server for the specified font.
