NAME

SYNOPSIS

10       param...]  [-C codingscheme] [-F family]  [-f  optfile]  [-c  num]  [-W

DESCRIPTION

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

OPTIONS

26       -s designsize
27              Sets the design size of the font, in TeX's  points  (72.27pt  to
28              the  inch). The default design size is 1. The TFM parameters are
29              given as multiples of the design size.
30
31
32       -p num param...
33              Sets the first num font parameters for the font. The first seven
34              parameters  are  the  slant,  interword spacing, interword space
35              stretchability, interword space  shrinkability,  x-height,  quad
36              width,  and post-sentence extra space of the font. Math and sym‐
37              bol fonts may have more parameters; see The TeXbook for  a  list
38              of  these.  Reasonable  default values are chosen for parameters
39              which are not specified.
40
41
42       -C codingscheme
43              Sets the coding scheme comment in the TFM file.
44
45
46       -F family
47              Sets the font family comment in the TFM file.
48
49
50       -f optfile
51              Reads the file optfile, which should  contain  a  lines  of  the
52              form:
53
54                 filename xoff yoff horiz vert width height depth ital
55
56              The  PBM files specified by the filename parameters are inserted
57              consecutively in the font with the specified attributes. If  any
58              of  the  attributes are omitted, or replaced with '*', a default
59              value will be calculated from the size of the bitmap.  The  set‐
60              tings  of  the -W, -H, -D, -I, -h, -v, -x, and -y options do not
61              affected characters created in this way.  The  character  number
62              can  be  changed by including a line starting with '=', followed
63              by the new number.  Lines beginning with '%' or '#' are ignored.
64
65
66       -c num Sets the character number of the next bitmap encountered to num.
67
68
69       -W width
70              Sets the TFM width of the next character  to  width  (in  design
71              size multiples).
72
73
74       -H height
75              Sets  the  TFM height of the next character to height (in design
76              size multiples).
77
78
79       -D depth
80              Sets the TFM depth of the next character  to  depth  (in  design
81              size multiples).
82
83
84       -I ital
85              Sets  the  italic  correction  of the next character to ital (in
86              design size multiples).
87
88
89       -h horiz
90              Sets the horizontal escapement of the next  character  to  horiz
91              (in pixels).
92
93
94       -v vert
95              Sets  the  vertical escapement of the next character to vert (in
96              pixels).
97
98
99       -x xoff
100              Sets the horizontal offset of the next  character  to  xoff  (in
101              pixels).
102
103
104       -y yoff
105              Sets  the vertical offset of the next character to yoff (in pix‐
106              els, from the top row).
