NAME

       trbdf - convert BDF-font from one encoding to other

SYNOPSIS

       trbdf -C | -l | -h

       trbdf [-s] [-f input-codeset ] [-t output-codeset ] [--foundry[=] new-foundry ] BDF-font

DESCRIPTION

       trbdf  is  a  program  for  translation of BDF fonts from one encoding to other.  One exciting feature of
       trbdf is that it tries to approximate the symbols that miss from the font or from  the  encoding  of  the
       font with existing symbols when possible.

       If  the  option  -s or --gen-script is given trbdf will generate an awk(1) script for translation of BDF-
       fonts for fixed combination of input-codeset and output-codeset This is useful for faster  convertion  of
       many files.  This script is used as filter.

       If  none  of -C, -s, -l, -h and their equivalents is given the BDF-font will be read assuming it is coded
       with codeset input-codeset On standard output it will be recoded so to use  codeset  output-codeset  Both
       input-codeset and output-codeset are case insensitive and default to `cp1251'.

OPTIONS

       -C, --copyright
              Display copying conditions and warranty information.

       -s, --gen-script
              Generates  conversion  script  for  given  input and output encodings instead to convert BDF-font.
              This option is usefull if you have to convert many fonts.  The generated script expects the  input
              font from its standard input and outputs the converted font.

       -l, --list
              List all known codesets.

       -h, --help
              Display this help and exit.

       -f input-codeset, --from[=]input-codeset
              Codeset of the source font.

       -f output-codeset, --to[=]output-codeset
              Codeset of the generated font.

       --foundry[=]new-foundry
              Use this option if you want to change the foundry of the generated fonts.
