fstobdf(X1M)


fstobdf -- generate BDF font from X font server

Synopsis

fstobdf [{-s | -server} host:port] -fn fontname

Description

The fstobdf program reads a font from a font server and prints a BDF file on the standard output that may be used to recreate the font. This is useful in testing servers, debugging font metrics, and reproducing lost BDF files.

Options

specifies the server from which the font should be read. host specifies the host machine name where the X font server is running and port is set to 7000 by default.

-fn fontname
specifies the font for which a BDF file should be generated. Use fslsfonts to determine the font name you wish to generate.

Environment variables


FONTSERVER
Default server to use.
