I am tring to generate BDF files from MF files and the font comes out
with extra spacing.
I hack on the BDF to find out what it was, but went I finally got rid
of the extra spacing between characters and I wasn`t sure of why.
My procedure to convert them uses the SeeTeX's mfToBDF. I do know a
sparc itn't a 100 dpi, but that was what I wanted.
Here is the procedure:
cmmf '\smode="sparc1"; mag=1.00000;' input wncysc10
mftobdf -dvi 100 -dev sparc1 wncysc10.100pk
bdftosnf wncysc10.100.bdf >wncysc10.100.snf
mkfontdir
xset +fp `pwd`
xterm -fn wncysc10.100
Thanks for *any* help you can give me.

So you should generate the BDF fonts like this: mftobdf -dvi 100 -mag 283 wncysc10.100pk Also, xterm doesn't work well at all with variable width fonts. The wncysc10 BDF font will probably be variable width, and you'll have to hack the width changes by hand anyway. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- mleisher@nmsu.edu "I laughed.
