Description

Converts bitmap font sets from BDF or PCF into bitmap-only sfnt files, often using the OTB format. Font maintainers and packagers use it when they need to transform older X font sources into a format that other font systems can consume.

It is a specialist terminal tool, not a font editor for casual users. The input fonts and naming choices still need to be correct, and the resulting files should be tested in the target font stack before distribution.
