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. +.SH EXAMPLE +The command +.RS +bdftruncate 0x3200 < 6x13.bdf > 6x13t.bdf +.RE +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). +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR ucs2any (1) +.SH AUTHOR +.B bdftruncate +was written by Markus Kuhn. +.PP +Branden Robinson wrote this manual page, originally for the Debian Project. |
