.TH PXTOGF 1L  10/16/86
.SH NAME
pxtogf - convert pixel (pxl) format font files to generic font format
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B pxtogf
pxl_file_name gf_file_name
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I pxtogf
converts a pxl format file to a generic font file.
Perhaps for on-line previewers, pixel format fonts
are still useful because no translation needs to be done on
the character to get the bitmap, but gf files are much more compact.
.PP
Both the pxl and the gf filename on the command line must be complete. Because
the resolution is part of the extension, it would not make
sense to add on a default extension as is done with TeX or
dvi-reading software. Although it would make sense to generate the gf
filename automatically from the pxl filename, this isn't done.
.SH "SEE ALSO"

.br
Donald Knuth,
.I MetafontWare
.SH "BUGS"
Far too many (virtually all, in fact) device drivers still
use pixel format fonts.
.SH "AUTHORS"
Unknown. Ported to Unix by Karl Berry, who got it from Barbara Beeton at
the American Mathematical Society, who got it from someone at Stanford.
(Maybe John Hobby?)
