Description : BDF to SFD converter
This is a BDF to SFD converter, allowing to vectorize bitmap fonts. It
works
by converting each pixel of a glyph to a polygon, which produces large
and
unoptimized SFD files that should be post-processed using FontForge.
.
It was originally created to generate OpenType versions of Spleen, and
is
released in the hope it can be useful to convert other fonts as well.
Please
be aware that it works best on fonts proportional to 8x16. Other sizes
will
work but the aspect ratio will not be preserved. There is currently
little
interest in addressing the issue.
