The bitmap file consists of all pixels +of the specified character (via the -c or -o option) from +the given pkfont. The format is described in bitmap(X11). +.PP +The pkfont is a packed fontfile generated by gftopk(TeX) from a +gffont. A gffont is the output of METAFONT a program to design fonts +in a device independant way. +.PP +With the -b flag a bitmap is generated in which all black pixels are +drawn as a `*' and all white bits as a `.'. With the -h flag a +hexadecimal bitmap dump is generated. +.PP +The -W and/or -H options can be used to create a bitmap of +respectivally `width' and `height' pixels. The pk-bitmap will in +this case be centered according to these new dimensions. +.PP +The output is written to the standard output. +.SH SEE ALSO +.nf +`METAFONT', Donald Knuth. +`The PKtype processor', belonging to the METAFONTware. +bitmap(X11), +gftopk(TeX), +pktype(TeX), +ps2pk(1) + +.SH AUTHOR +.nf +Piet Tutelaers <rcpt@urc.tue.nl> + |
