19 ppmdcfont creates a C source file that you can compile into a built-in
20 font for use with the Netpbm PPM drawing facilities. It reads a Ppmd‐
21 font file on Standard Input and writes the C source code to Standard
22 Output.
23
24 The output C source code has the font object's name hardcoded as
25 ppmd_standardfont, which you will definitely want to edit, because that
26 is the name of the font built in to libnetpbm. If you don't change it,
27 it will conflict both cognitively and in program linking. There should
28 obviously be an option on ppmdcfont to choose this, but the development
29 effort has not been justified so far.
