NAME
       pktopbm - convert packed (PK) format font into PBM

SYNOPSIS
       pktopbm pkfile [ -x width ] [ -y height ] [-c num] pbmfile ...

DESCRIPTION
       This program is part of Netpbm(1).

       pktopbm	reads  a  packed (PK) font file as input, and produces PBM images as output. If the filename "-" is used for
       any of the filenames, the standard input stream (or standard output where appropriate) will be used.  If	 either	 the
       width or height is specified, this value will be used for all bitmaps produced. Also if one or both values are speci‐
       fied,  the bitmap will be relocated with the hoffset and voffset given in the pkfile. The basepoint will be placed in
       the lower left corner of the bitmap if the bitmap is bigger than the specified size it will be truncated at  the	 top
       or right.

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

       -character num

		  This is the code point (character number) to which the first
		  specified output file pertains.  Ergo, there is no output for any
		  code point lower than this.

       -x width
		The width of the image in columns.

		The default is what is specified in the font file.

       -y width
	      The height of the image in rows.

	      The default is what is specified in the font file.

HISTORY
       Before Netpbm 11.04 (September 2023), the program would sometimes add
	 the suffix '.pk' to the specified input file name.  It also
	 let you specify multiple -c options, with each applying to the
	 output file names that came after it.
