NAME

       bdftruncate - generate truncated BDF font from ISO 10646-1-encoded BDF font

SYNOPSIS

       bdftruncate threshold < source.bdf > destination.bdf

DESCRIPTION

       bdftruncate allows one to generate from an ISO10646-1 encoded BDF font other ISO10646-1 BDF fonts in which all characters above a threshold
       code value are stored unencoded.  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.

EXAMPLE

       The command
	      bdftruncate 0x3200 < 6x13.bdf > 6x13t.bdf
       will  generate  the  file 6x13t.bdf in which all glyphs with codes >= 0x3200 will only be stored unencoded (i.e., they are encoded at code-
       point -1).

       ing boxes.
