showsnf(X)


showsnf -- print contents of an SNF file

Syntax

showsnf [-g] [-l] [-L] [-m] [-M] [-p#] [-u#] [-v]

Description

showsnf displays the contents of font files in the Server Natural Format (SNF) produced by bdftosnf. Use showsnf to verify that a font file is not corrupted or to convert the individual glyphs into arrays of characters for proofreading or for conversion to other formats.


NOTE: showsnf has been replaced by showfont(X) in the X11R5 server.

Options


-g
prints character glyph bitmaps.

-l
indicates that the bit order of the font is least significant bit first. The bit order of Xsco server fonts is least significant bit first.

-L
indicates that the byte order of the font is least significant byte first.

-m
indicates that the bit order of the font is most significant bit first.

-M
indicates that the byte order of the font is most significant byte first. The byte order of Xsco server fonts is most significant byte first.

-p#
sets the font glyph padding. Each glyph in the font will have each scanline padded in to a multiple of # bytes, where # is 1, 2, 4 or 8.

-u#
sets the font scanline unit. When the font bit order is different from the font byte order, the scanline unit # describes what unit of data (in bytes) are to be swapped; the unit # can be 1, 2 or 4 bytes.

-v
prints character bearings and sizes.

Known limitations

You cannot print only a single glyph.
