BDFTRUNCATE(1) X Version 11 BDFTRUNCATE(1) NAME bdftruncate - generate truncated BDF font from ISO 10646-1-encoded BDF font SYNOPSIS bdftruncate threshold < source.bdf > destination.bdf bdftruncate [ --help | --version ] 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 informa- tion are extremely inefficient when handling sparsely populated fonts. OPTIONS --help prints usage message and exits. --version prints version information and exits. 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 unencoded (i.e., they are encoded at codepoint -1).
