NAME
       bdftruncate - generate truncated BDF font from ISO 10646-1-encoded BDF font

SYNOPSIS
       bdftruncate threshold < source.bdf > destination.bdf

DESCRIPTION
       bdftruncate  allows one to generate from an ISO10646-1 encoded BDF font other ISO10646-1 BDF fonts in
       which all characters above a threshold code value are stored  unencoded.   This  is  often  desirable
       because  the  Xlib API and X11 protocol data structures used for representing font metric information
       are extremely inefficient when handling sparsely populated fonts.

EXAMPLE
       The command
              bdftruncate 0x3200 < 6x13.bdf > 6x13t.bdf
       will generate the file 6x13t.bdf in which all glyphs with codes >= 0x3200 will only be  stored  unen-coded unencoded
       coded (i.e., they are encoded at codepoint -1).
