NAME
bdftruncate - generate truncated BDF font from ISO
10646-1-encoded BDF font
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/bdftruncate threshold < source.bdf > destina-
tion.bdf
DESCRIPTION
bdftruncate allows one to generate from an ISO10646-1
encoded BDF font other ISO10646-1 BDF fonts in which all
characters above a threshold code value are stored unen-
coded. This is often desirable because the Xlib API and X11
protocol data structures used for representing font metric
information are extremely inefficient when handling sparsely
populated fonts.
EXAMPLE
The command
bdftruncate 0x3200 < 6x13.bdf > 6x13t.bdf
will generate the file 6x13t.bdf in which all glyphs with
codes >= 0x3200 will only be stored unencoded (i.e., they
are encoded at codepoint -1).
