NAME

       pbmtopk - convert a PBM image into a packed (PK) format font

SYNOPSIS

       pbmtopk  pkfile[.pk]  tfmfile[.tfm]  resolution  [-s  designsize]  [-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] [pbmfile ...]

DESCRIPTION

       This program is part of Netpbm(1).

       pbmtopk reads PBM images 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, pbmtopk uses Standard
       Input or Standard Output.

OPTIONS

       In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm (most notably -quiet,
       see
        Common  Options  ⟨index.html#commonoptions⟩  ),  pbmtopk recognizes the following command
       line 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 TeXbook 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  settings  of  the  -W,  -H, -D, -I, -h, -v, -x, and -y options do not affected
              characters created in this 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 character 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).
