I am trying to create a font using a bdf file. I was told
that I need to convert the bdf file to either snf or pcf file
using bdftosnf or bdftopcf respectively. Then feed this file
to mkfontdir to get the required font. My problem is I do not have
any of these utilities her at SDRC. I am ver grateful if you
could tell me where I can find these programs.
Thank you in advance.

If you do not have X windows, then snf/pcf are not what you want to convert the font to. If you let us know what you *do* have and what you are trying to convert the font to (PostScript, TeX, some other windowing system?), then somebody here may be able to tell you what to use to convert it. -- -- Brian, the Man from Babble-on. bts@unx.sas.com -- (Brian Schellenberger) "And when the votes were cast, the winner was . . .
