[comp.windows.x] Compiling X11 fonts

gar@cory.Berkeley.EDU (Gary D. Wong) (05/30/89)

Can someone please tell me how to compile X11 fonts? I have some fonts
in a text file with the postfix '.bdf'. I need to convert these to 
'.snf' files. Is there some program called 'fc' to do this? If so,
where can I get it.

Thanks for the help.

If you have MIT R2, there is a font compiler called 'fc' somewhere in
the distribution (in fonts/compiler or fonts/fc or some such).  In MIT
R3, the compiler is in fonts/bdftosnf/.
