NAME
       fstobdf - generate BDF font from X font server

SYNOPSIS
       fstobdf [ -server servername ] -fn fontname

       fstobdf -version

DESCRIPTION
       The fstobdf program reads a font from a font server and prints a BDF
       file on the standard output that may be used to recreate the font.
       This is useful in testing servers, debugging font metrics, and
       reproducing lost BDF files.

OPTIONS
       -server servername
               This option specifies the server from which the font should be
               read.  servername must be specified in one of the formats
               defined in the Font Server Names section of X(7).   If not
               specified, the server name in the FONTSERVER environment
               variable is used.

       -fn fontname
               This option specifies the font for which a BDF file should be
               generated.

       -version
               This option prints the program version and then exits without
               generating a BDF file.

ENVIRONMENT
       FONTSERVER
               The default server to use.  The server name must be specified
               in one of the formats defined in the Font Server Names section
               of X(7).
