NAME
ppmdcfont - Turn a Ppmdfont file into C source for a builtin
font
SYNOPSIS
ppmdcfont
(There are no arguments or options)
DESCRIPTION
This program is part of Netpbm.
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 Pp-
mdfont file on
Standard Input and writes the C source code to Standard Out-
put.
The output C source code has the font object’s name
hardcoded as
ppmd_standardfont, which you will definitely want to edit, be-
cause 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 ef-
fort has not
been justified so far.
See Libnetpbm PPM Drawing Function Manual for details on Ppmd-
font files.
