17 This program is part of Netpbm(1).
18 pbmtopk reads PBM images as input and produces a packed (PK) font file
20 and a TFM (TeX font metric) file as output. The resolution parameter
21 indicates the resolution of the font, in dots per inch. If the filename
22 "-" is used for any of the filenames, pbmtopk uses Standard Input or
23 Standard Output.

27 In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm
28 (most notably -quiet, see
29 Common Options ⟨index.html#commonoptions⟩ ), pbmtopk recognizes the
30 following command line options:
31 -s designsize
35 Sets the design size of the font, in TeX's points (72.27pt to
36 the inch). The default design size is 1. The TFM parameters are
37 given as multiples of the design size.
38 -p num param...
41 Sets the first num font parameters for the font. The first seven
42 parameters are the slant, interword spacing, interword space
43 stretchability, interword space shrinkability, x-height, quad
44 width, and post-sentence extra space of the font. Math and sym‐
45 bol fonts may have more parameters; see The TeXbook for a list
46 of these. Reasonable default values are chosen for parameters
47 which are not specified.
48 -C codingscheme
51 Sets the coding scheme comment in the TFM file.
52 -F family
55 Sets the font family comment in the TFM file.
56 -f optfile
59 Reads the file optfile, which should contain a lines of the
60 form:
61 filename xoff yoff horiz vert width height depth ital
63 The PBM files specified by the filename parameters are inserted
66 consecutively in the font with the specified attributes. If any
67 of the attributes are omitted, or replaced with "*", a default
68 value will be calculated from the size of the bitmap. The set‐
69 tings of the -W, -H, -D, -I, -h, -v, -x, and -y options do not
70 affected characters created in this way. The character number
71 can be changed by including a line starting with "=", followed
72 by the new number. Lines beginning with "%" or "#" are ignored.
73 -c num Sets the character number of the next bitmap encountered to num.
76 -W width
79 Sets the TFM width of the next character to width (in design
80 size multiples).
81 -H height
84 Sets the TFM height of the next character to height (in design
85 size multiples).
86 -D depth
89 Sets the TFM depth of the next character to depth (in design
90 size multiples).
91 -I ital
94 Sets the italic correction of the next character to ital (in de‐
95 sign size multiples).
96 -h horiz
99 Sets the horizontal escapement of the next character to horiz
100 (in pixels).
101 -v vert
104 Sets the vertical escapement of the next character to vert (in
105 pixels).
106 -x xoff
109 Sets the horizontal offset of the next character to xoff (in
110 pixels).
111 -y yoff
114 Sets the vertical offset of the next character to yoff (in pix‐
115 els, from the top row).
