NAME

6       bdftruncate  - generate truncated BDF font from ISO 10646-1-encoded BDF
7       font
8

SYNOPSIS

10       bdftruncate threshold < source.bdf > destination.bdf
11

DESCRIPTION

13       bdftruncate allows one to generate from an ISO10646-1 encoded BDF  font
14       other  ISO10646-1  BDF  fonts in which all characters above a threshold
15       code value are stored unencoded.  This is often desirable  because  the
16       Xlib  API  and  X11 protocol data structures used for representing font
17       metric information are extremely  inefficient  when  handling  sparsely
18       populated fonts.

EXAMPLE

21       The command
22              bdftruncate 0x3200 < 6x13.bdf > 6x13t.bdf
23       will  generate  the  file  6x13t.bdf  in which all glyphs with codes >=
24       0x3200 will only be stored unencoded (i.e., they are encoded  at  code‐
25       point -1).
