NAME

   fstobdf - generate BDF font from X font server

SYNOPSIS

   fstobdf [ -server servername ] -fn fontname

   fstobdf -version

DESCRIPTION

   The  fstobdf  program  reads a font from a font server and prints a BDF
   file on the standard output that may be  used  to  recreate  the  font.
   This  is  useful  in  testing  servers,  debugging  font  metrics,  and
   reproducing lost BDF files.

OPTIONS

   -server servername
           This option specifies the server from which the font should  be
           read.   servername  must  be  specified  in  one of the formats
           defined in the Font Server Names  section  of  X(7).    If  not
           specified,  the  server  name  in  the  FONTSERVER  environment
           variable is used.

   -fn fontname
           This option specifies the font for which a BDF file  should  be
           generated.

   -version
           This  option  prints the program version and then exits without
           generating a BDF file.

ENVIRONMENT

   FONTSERVER
           The default server to use.  The server name must  be  specified
           in  one of the formats defined in the Font Server Names section
           of X(7).
