Freetype Version 2                                 22 May 2008                                        OTF2BDF(1)

otf2bdf   will   convert   an   OpenType   font   to   a   BDF   font   using   the   Freetype2  renderer
       (http://www.freetype.org).

       otf2bdf - OpenType to BDF font converter

otf2bdf accepts the following command line arguments:

       -v      print warning messages when the font is converted.

       -n      disable glyph hinting.

       -pn    set the desired point size (see default value by running the program with the -h option).

       -et     display a list of the platforms and encodings available in the font. The default values, compiled
               into the program, are a platform of 3 (Microsoft) and encoding of 1 (ISO10646). If the font  does
               not contain the default platform and encoding, the fallback will be the Apple ISO10646 encoding.

       -rn    set  both  the  horizontal  and the vertical resolution (see default value by running the program
               with the -h option).  The minimum is 10dpi and the maximum is 1200dpi.

       -rhn   set the horizontal resolution (see default value by running the program with the -h option).  The
               minimum is 10dpi and the maximum is 1200dpi.

       -rvn   set the vertical resolution (see default value by running the program with the -h  option).   The
               minimum is 10dpi and the maximum is 1200dpi.

       -ooutfile
               sets the output filename (default output is to stdout).

       -pidid set  the  platform  id  for selecting the character map (see default value by running the program
               with the -h option).

       -eidid set the encoding id for selecting the character map (see default value  by  running  the  program
               with the -h option).

       -cc    set the character spacing.  This should be one of `P' for proportional, `M' for monospace, or `C'
               for  character  cell.   By  default, the spacing of a font will be automatically determined to be
               either `M' or `P' according to values provided in the font.

       -fname set the foundry name used in the XLFD name.  The default value is `Freetype'.

       -tname set the typeface name used in the XLFD name.  By default, otf2bdf will attempt to get a name from
               the font first and then it will use the name supplied with this command line option, and  if  all
               else fails, it will use the name `Unknown'.

       -wname set  the  weight name used in the XLFD name.  If this value is not supplied, the default value is
               assumed to be `Medium'.  Some common  values  for  this  are  `Thin',  `Delicate',  `ExtraLight',
               `Light',   `Normal',   `Medium',   `SemiCondensed',  `Condensed',  `SemiBold',  `Bold',  `Heavy',
               `ExtraBold', and `ExtraHeavy'.

       -sname set the slant name used in the XLFD name.  If this value is not supplied, the  default  value  is
               assumed to be `R', for Roman.  Some common values for this are `R' for Roman, `I' for Italic, `O'
               for Oblique, `RI' for Reverse Italic, and `RO' for Reverse Oblique.

       -kname set the width name used in the XLFD name.  The default is `Normal'.

       -dname set the additional style name used in the XLFD name.  The default is an empty string.

       -uchar set  the  character  used  to replace the dashes/spaces in a font name.  The default is the space
               character.

       -lsubset
               define a list of character codes which will be used to select a subset of glyphs from  the  font.
               The  syntax of the subset string is the same as the syntax for selecting subsets in X11 XLFD font
               names.  Example:

               % otf2bdf -l '60 70 80_90' font.ttf -o font.bdf

               The command above will only generate the glyphs for codes 60, 70, and 80  through  90  inclusive.
               Glyphs that are not in the subset are not generated.

       -mmapfile
               specifies  a mapping file which will reencode the BDF font when it is generated.  Any glyphs with
               codes that do not have a mapping will not be generated.

               The remapping file should begin with two lines, one which starts with REGISTRY  followed  by  the
               character  set  registry and one which starts with ENCODING followed by the encoding.  An example
               from the iso8859.2 file:

               REGISTRY ISO8859
               ENCODING 2

               The remapping data should be two columns of hexadecimal numbers, separated  by  spaces  or  tabs.
               The  first  column  should have the code which should be used in the BDF font.  The second column
               should be the hexadecimal code of the glyph in the "cmap" table otf2bdf  is  using.   An  example
               mapping  file  is  provided  which  will  map  fonts  from  Unicode (the default "cmap" table) to
               ISO8859-2.

               Unicode is not the only option.  If you choose another platform and encoding ID  on  the  command
               line,  then  the  remapping is assumed to map from the chosen platform and encoding to some other
               character set.
