NAME

       pktopbm - convert packed (PK) format font into PBM

SYNOPSIS

       pktopbm pkfile [ -x width ] [ -y height ] [-c num] pbmfile ...

DESCRIPTION

       This program is part of Netpbm(1).

       pktopbm  reads a packed (PK) font file as input, and produces PBM images as output. If the
       filename "-" is used for any of the filenames, the  standard  input  stream  (or  standard
       output  where  appropriate) will be used. If either the width or height is specified, this
       value will be used for all bitmaps produced. Also if one or both values are specified, the
       bitmap  will  be relocated with the hoffset and voffset given in the pkfile. The basepoint
       will be placed in the lower left corner of the bitmap if the bitmap  is  bigger  than  the
       specified size it will be truncated at the top or right.

OPTIONS

       In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm (most notably -quiet,
       see
        Common Options ⟨index.html#commonoptions⟩ ), pktopbm  recognizes  the  following  command
       line options:

       -character num

                  This is the code point (character number) to which the first
                  specified output file pertains.  Ergo, there is no output for any
                  code point lower than this.

       -x width
                The width of the image in columns.

                The default is what is specified in the font file.

       -y width
              The height of the image in rows.

              The default is what is specified in the font file.

HISTORY

       Before Netpbm 11.04 (September 2023), the program would sometimes add
         the suffix '.pk' to the specified input file name.  It also
         let you specify multiple -c options, with each applying to the
         output file names that came after it.
