BDF to MS-Windows Font Compiler release notes.
7/9/93
BDFTOFON
--------
The BDFTOFON program will compile a BDF file to a MS_Windows .FON file
for use with the Micro-X programs. The file produced is basically a Windows
file with a Font resource and Font directory and an additional data area
for the X specific information.
usage:
BDFTOFON [-t] [-i] [-o FONT_FILE] BDF_FILE
BDF_FILE BDF format input file. Default extension = .BDF
-o FONT_FILE Font output file. Default extension = .FON
output will default to BDF_FILE.FON if no name specified.
-t Produce Terminal font, if possible.
-i Inhibit ink metric computations.
This program uses the BDFREAD functions in the X11R5 distribution. For
detailed information about Terminal Fonts or Ink metrics, see the source
code or X11R5 documentation.
Known Limitations:
Font weight specification is incomplete. Currently the program recognizes
BOLD, DEMIBOLD, and MEDIUM. All other weights are set to a value of 400,
corresponding to NORMAL.
Font Family recognition is incomplete. The program parses the Full name
field in the BDF file and will recognize Roman families.
Character set encoding is set to ANSI (0).
Strikeout and underline fonts are not recognized as such.
MKFONDIR
--------
The program will create a file FONTS.DIR from all the .FON files in the current
directory. Duplicate entries will be reported and not added to the file.
Usage:
MKFONDIR
