NAME
       bdf2sfd -- BDF to SFD converter

SYNOPSIS
       bdf2sfd [-hv] [-f name] [-p name] font.bdf

DESCRIPTION
       bdf2sfd	is a BDF to SFD	converter, allowing to vectorize bitmap	fonts.
       It works	by converting each pixel of a glyph to a polygon,  which  pro-
       duces  large  and  unoptimized SFD files	which should be	post-processed
       using FontForge.

       If file is a single dash	(`-'), bdf2sfd reads from the standard input.

       The options are as follows:

       -f name	   Specify font	name.

       -p name	   Specify PostScript font name.

       -h	   Display usage.

       -v	   Display version.

ENVIRONMENT
       SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH
	       Specifies the timestamp to use for the  CreationTime  field  in
	       the generated SFD output.

	       If  set,	 bdf2sfd uses this value instead of the	current	system
	       time.  This allows generating reproducible output files.

AUTHORS
       bdf2sfd was written by Frederic Cambus.
