PBMTOPK

NAME

      pbmtopk - convert a portable bitmap into a packed (PK) format font

SYNOPSIS

      pbmtopk pkfile[.pk] tfmfile[.tfm] resolution [-s designsize] [-p num
      param...] [-C codingscheme] [-F family] [-f optfile] [-c num] [-W
      width] [-H height] [-D depth] [-I ital] [-h horiz] [-v vert] [-x xoff]
      [-y yoff] [pbmfile]...

DESCRIPTION

      Reads portable bitmaps as input, and produces a packed (PK) font file
      and a TFM (TeX font metric) file as output. The resolution parameter
      indicates the resolution of the font, in dots per inch. If the
      filename "-" is used for any of the filenames, the standard input
      stream (or standard output where appropriate) will be used.

OPTIONS

      -s designsize
           Sets the design size of the font, in TeX's points (72.27pt to the
           inch). The default design size is 1. The TFM parameters are given
           as multiples of the design size.
      -p num param...
           Sets the first num font parameters for the font. The first seven
           parameters are the slant, interword spacing, interword space
           stretchability, interword space shrinkability, x-height, quad
           width, and post-sentence extra space of the font. Math and symbol
           fonts may have more parameters; see The TeXbook for a list of
           these. Reasonable default values are chosen for parameters which
           are not specified.
      -C codingscheme
           Sets the coding scheme comment in the TFM file.
      -F family
           Sets the font family comment in the TFM file.
      -f optfile
           Reads the file optfile, which should contain a lines of the form:
              filename xoff yoff horiz vert width height depth ital
           The pbm files specified by the filename parameters  are  inserted
           consecutively  in  the font with the specified attributes. If any
           of the attributes are omitted, or replaced with  "*",  a  default
           value  will  be  calculated  from  the  size  of  the bitmap. The
           settings of the -W, -H, -D, -I, -h, -v, -x, and -y options do not
           affected  characters  created  in this way.  The character number
           can be changed by including a line starting with "=", followed by
           the new number.  Lines beginning with "%" or "#" are ignored.
      -c num
           Sets the character number of the next bitmap encountered to num.
      -W width
           Sets the TFM width of the next character to width (in design size
           multiples).
      -H height
           Sets the TFM height of the next character to  height  (in  design
           size multiples).
      -D depth
           Sets the TFM depth of the next character to depth (in design size
           multiples).
      -I ital
           Sets the italic correction of the  next  character  to  ital  (in
           design size multiples).
      -h horiz
           Sets the horizontal escapement of the next character to horiz (in
           pixels).
      -v vert
           Sets the vertical escapement of the next character  to  vert  (in
           pixels).
      -x xoff
           Sets the horizontal offset of the  next  character  to  xoff  (in
           pixels).
      -y yoff
           Sets the vertical offset  of  the  next  character  to  yoff  (in
           pixels, from the top row).
