NAME¶
trbdf - convert BDF-font from one encoding to other
SYNOPSIS¶
trbdf -C | -l | -h
trbdf [-s] [-f input-codeset ] [-t output-codeset
] [--foundry[=] new-foundry ] BDF-font
DESCRIPTION¶
trbdf is a program for translation of BDF fonts from one encoding to
other. One exciting feature of
trbdf is that it tries to approximate
the symbols that miss from the font or from the encoding of the font with
existing symbols when possible.
If the option
-s or
--gen-script is given
trbdf will
generate an
awk(1) script for translation of BDF-fonts for fixed
combination of
input-codeset and
output-codeset This is useful
for faster convertion of many files. This script is used as filter.
If none of
-C, -s, -l, -h and their equivalents is
given the
BDF-font will be read assuming it is coded with codeset
input-codeset On standard output it will be recoded so to use codeset
output-codeset Both
input-codeset and
output-codeset are
case insensitive and default to `cp1251'.
OPTIONS¶
- -C, --copyright
- Display copying conditions and warranty information.
- -s, --gen-script
- Generates conversion script for given input and output encodings instead
to convert BDF-font. This option is usefull if you have to convert many
fonts. The generated script expects the input font from its standard input
and outputs the converted font.
- -l, --list
- List all known codesets.
- -h, --help
- Display this help and exit.
- -f input-codeset, --from[=]input-codeset
- Codeset of the source font.
- -f output-codeset, --to[=]output-codeset
- Codeset of the generated font.
- --foundry[=]new-foundry
- Use this option if you want to change the foundry of the generated
fonts.
