NAME

       ppmdcfont - Turn a Ppmdfont file into C source for a builtin font

SYNOPSIS

       ppmdcfont

DESCRIPTION

       This program is part of Netpbm(1).

       (There are no arguments or options)

       ppmdcfont  creates  a C source file that you can compile into a built-in font for use with the Netpbm PPM
       drawing facilities.  It reads a Ppmdfont file on Standard Input and writes the C source code to  Standard
       Output.

       The  output  C  source  code  has  the  font object's name hardcoded as ppmd_standardfont, which you will
       definitely want to edit, because that is the name of the font built in to libnetpbm.  If you don't change
       it, it will conflict both cognitively and in program linking.  There should obviously  be  an  option  on
       ppmdcfont to choose this, but the development effort has not been justified so far.

       See Libnetpbm PPM Drawing Function Manual" (1) for details on Ppmdfont files.
