SYNOPSIS

       gf2pbm [options] GF-file

       program that converts a single character from  a  METAFONT-produced  GF
       font  file  to PBM format.  It is used internally by mftrace(1) to feed
       to autotrace(1) to create  a  Postscript  outline  description  of  the
       character.

       -s     Show glyph size.

       -n NUM Process glyph number NUM.

       -o FILE
              Output to FILE instead of stdout.

       -h     Show summary of options.

       -d     Display debugging information.

EXIT STATUS

       gf2pbm  exits  with  status  0 if successful, status 1 if the requested
       glyph did not exist and status 2 if there was some other error.

SEE ALSO
