NAME¶

bdf2sfd — BDF to SFD converter

SYNOPSIS¶

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 which should be post-processed using FontForge.

If file is a single dash (`-'), bdf2sfd reads from the standard input.

The options are as follows:

-f name

Specify font name.

-p name

Specify PostScript font name.

-h

Display usage.

-v

Display version.

ENVIRONMENT¶

SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH

Specifies the timestamp to use for the CreationTime field in the generated SFD output.

If set, bdf2sfd uses this value instead of the current system time. This allows generating reproducible output files.
