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 fa‐
       cilities.  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 cog‐
       nitively and in program linking.	 There should obviously be an option on ppmdcfont to choose this, but  the  develop‐
       ment effort has not been justified so far.

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