[comp.windows.x] snf conversion

faustus@fir.Berkeley.EDU (Wayne Christopher) (09/15/90)

I have some .snf files on a Sun 4 that I want to convert to DEC 3100 .snf
files.  I don't have the .bdf files, unfortunately.  Is there any way
to do this?  A snftobdf program would be nice, but if the .snf format
is simple enough, I guess I could hack something together.  Is the .snf
format documented anywhere?

Thanks,

	Wayne Christopher

Grab X/getbdf.c from 132.206.1.1, point it at your Sun-4 server and
give it the font name, and it will obligingly hand you a .bdf file for
that font.  Then of course once you have the bdf file you can do
whatever strikes your fancy with it.
