NAME

       bdfresize - Resize BDF Format Font

SYNOPSIS

       bdfresize [-v] [-b number] [-[whf] factor] [bdf-file]

DESCRIPTION

       Bdfresize  is  a command to magnify or reduce fonts which are described
       with the standard BDF format.  If bdf-file is not specified,  it  reads
       from  stdin.   Bdfresize  outputs  the  result to stdout in BDF format.
       Some COMMENT lines are inserted to  the  result  font.   FONT  name  is
       modified  depending  on  the  resize factor if the name is described in
       XLFD format.  SIZE,  FONTBOUNDINGBIX,  SWIDTH,  DWIDTH,  BBX  and  some
       property  lines are also modified.  Other lines are copied from source.
       If a syntax error occurs in a source font,  bdfresize  notices  it  and
       stops the whole process.

OPTIONS
