Package Information

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 produces large and unoptimized SFD files that should be post-processed using FontForge. There are several reasons why it might be desirable to convert bitmap fonts to OpenType or TrueType versions. This allow for example to use them as Web fonts, or simply to keep using them in some terminal emulators, since Pango 1.44 dropped support for bitmap fonts. It was originally created to generate OpenType versions of Spleen, and is released in the hope it can be useful to convert other fonts as well.
