NAME
       fstobdf - generate BDF font from X font server

SYNOPSIS
       fstobdf [ -server servername ] -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
       -server servername
               This  option  specifies  the  server  from which the font should be read.  servername must be
               specified in one of the formats defined in the Font Server Names section of  X(7).    If  not
               specified, the server name in the FONTSERVER environment variable is used.

       -fn fontname
               This option specifies the font for which a BDF file should be generated.

ENVIRONMENT
       FONTSERVER
               The  default  server to use.  The server name must be specified in one of the formats defined
               in the Font Server Names section of X(7).
