NAME
       pbmtopk - convert a PBM image into a packed (PK) format font

SYNOPSIS
       pbmtopk	pkfile[.pk]  tfmfile[.tfm]  resolution	[-s designsize] [-p num param...]  [-C codingscheme] [-F family] [-f
       optfile] [-c num] [-W width] [-H height] [-D depth] [-I ital] [-h horiz] [-v vert] [-x xoff] [-y yoff] [pbmfile ...]

DESCRIPTION
       This program is part of Netpbm(1).

       pbmtopk reads PBM images as input and produces a packed (PK) font file and a TFM (TeX font metric)  file	 as  output.
       The  resolution parameter indicates the resolution of the font, in dots per inch. If the filename "-" is used for any
       of the filenames, pbmtopk uses Standard Input or Standard Output.

OPTIONS
       In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm (most notably  -quiet,  see	  Common Options  ),
       pbmtopk recognizes the following command line options:

       -s designsize
	      Sets the design size of the font, in TeX's points (72.27pt to the inch). The default design size is 1. The TFM
	      parameters are given as multiples of the design size.

       -p num param...
	      Sets  the first num font parameters for the font. The first seven parameters are the slant, interword spacing,
	      interword space stretchability, interword space shrinkability, x-height, quad width, and	post-sentence  extra
	      space  of	 the font. Math and symbol fonts may have more parameters; see The TeXbook for a list of these. Rea‐
	      sonable default values are chosen for parameters which are not specified.

       -C codingscheme
	      Sets the coding scheme comment in the TFM file.

       -F family
	      Sets the font family comment in the TFM file.

       -f optfile
	      Reads the file optfile, which should contain a lines of the form:

		 filename xoff yoff horiz vert width height depth ital

	      The PBM files specified by the filename parameters are inserted consecutively in the font with  the  specified
	      attributes.  If  any  of	the attributes are omitted, or replaced with "*", a default value will be calculated
	      from the size of the bitmap. The settings of the -W, -H, -D, -I, -h, -v, -x, and -y options  do  not  affected
	      characters  created  in  this way.  The character number can be changed by including a line starting with "=",
	      followed by the new number.  Lines beginning with "%" or "#" are ignored.

       -c num Sets the character number of the next bitmap encountered to num.

       -W width
	      Sets the TFM width of the next character to width (in design size multiples).

       -H height
	      Sets the TFM height of the next character to height (in design size multiples).

       -D depth
	      Sets the TFM depth of the next character to depth (in design size multiples).

       -I ital
	      Sets the italic correction of the next character to ital (in design size multiples).

       -h horiz
	      Sets the horizontal escapement of the next character to horiz (in pixels).

       -v vert
	      Sets the vertical escapement of the next character to vert (in pixels).

       -x xoff
	      Sets the horizontal offset of the next character to xoff (in pixels).

       -y yoff
	      Sets the vertical offset of the next character to yoff (in pixels, from the top row).
