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.

   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

   -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, inter-
word 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  at-
tributes. If any of
	  the attributes are omitted, or replaced with "*", a de-
fault 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 af-
fected 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  encoun-
tered 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).
