NAME
     fstobdf - generate BDF font from X font server

SYNOPSIS
     fstobdf [ -server servername ] -fn fontname

     fstobdf -version

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 use-
     ful 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  gen-
	     erated.

     -version
	     This  option prints the program version and then exits without gen-
	     erating a BDF file.

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).

SEE ALSO
     xfs(1), bdftopcf(1), showfont(1), fslsfonts(1), X(7).
