pbmtopk - convert a portable bitmap into a packed (PK)
format font
SYNOPSIS
pbmtopk pkfile[.pk] tfmfile[.tfm] resolution [-s design
size] [-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] [pbm
file]...
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 stan
dard 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 TeX
book 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 set
tings of the -W, -H, -D, -I, -h, -v, -x, and -y
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 charac
ter 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).
