XmBDFEditor Bitmap Font Editor

The XmBDFEditor lets you interactively create new bitmap font files or modify existing ones. It allows editing multiple fonts and multiple glyphs, it allows cut and paste operations between fonts and glyphs and editing font properties. The editor works natively with BDF fonts.

xmbdfed can import:

Metafont PK/GF fonts.
Han Bitmap Font format (HBF) fonts.
Linux console (PSF, CP, and EGA/VGA) fonts.
Sun VF fonts.
OpenType (OTF & TTF) fonts (using Freetype 2).
A font from the X server.

xmbdfed can export:

PSF2 Linux console fonts.
HEX fonts (see online help).

The editor also supports two and four bits-per-pixel gray scale fonts for embedding in OTF fonts, though this is a little used feature.

The XmBDFEditor works on X Window System Version 11 (X11) Release 5 or 6, with Motif 1.2.x, OpenMotif 2.x (best results with this version), or LessTif.

The HTML documentation is available as xmbdfed-doc.html.
