+bdftopcf is a font compiler for the X server and font server. Fonts
+in Portable Compiled Format can be read by any architecture, although
+the file is structured to allow one particular architecture to read
+them directly without reformatting. This allows fast reading on the
+appropriate machine, but the files are still portable (but read more
+slowly) on other machines.
