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


{-s | -server} host:port
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.
