22 !!DESCRIPTION
23
24
25 This program generates a bitmap (ASCII file) which can be
26 used to create X11 applications. The bitmap file consists of
27 all pixels of the specified character (via the -c or -o
28 option) from the given pkfont. The format is described in
29 bitmap(X11).
30
31
32 The pkfont is a packed fontfile generated by gftopk(TeX)
33 from a gffont. A gffont is the output of METAFONT a program
34 to design fonts in a device independant way.
35
36
37 With the -b flag a bitmap is generated in which all black
38 pixels are drawn as a `*' and all white bits as a `.'. With
39 the -h flag a hexadecimal bitmap dump is
40 generated.
41
42
43 The -W and/or -H options can be used to create a bitmap of
44 respectivally `width' and `height' pixels. The pk-bitmap
45 will in this case be centered according to these new
46 dimensions.
47
48
49 The output is written to the standard output.
