!!NAME


pk2bm - create a bitmap from a TeX pkfont
!!SYNOPSIS:


pk2bm [[-bh] [[-W''width''] [[-H''height''] -c''char''
pkfont


pk2bm [[-bh] [[-W''width''] [[-H''height'']
-o''octchar'' pkfont
!!DESCRIPTION


This program generates a bitmap (ASCII file) which can be
used to create X11 applications. The bitmap file consists of
all pixels of the specified character (via the -c or -o
option) from the given pkfont. The format is described in
bitmap(X11).


The pkfont is a packed fontfile generated by gftopk(TeX)
from a gffont. A gffont is the output of METAFONT a program
to design fonts in a device independant way.


With the -b flag a bitmap is generated in which all black
pixels are drawn as a `*' and all white bits as a `.'. With
the -h flag a hexadecimal bitmap dump is
generated.


The -W and/or -H options can be used to create a bitmap of
respectivally `width' and `height' pixels. The pk-bitmap
will in this case be centered according to these new
dimensions.


The output is written to the standard output.
