NAME
     bdftruncate - generate truncated BDF font from ISO  10646-1-
     encoded BDF font

SYNOPSIS
     bdftruncate threshold < source.bdf > destination.bdf

DESCRIPTION
     bdftruncate  allows  one  to  generate  from  an  ISO10646-1
     encoded  BDF  font  other  ISO10646-1 BDF fonts in which all
     characters above a threshold code  value  are  stored  unen-
     coded.  This is often desirable because the Xlib API and X11
     protocol data structures used for representing  font  metric
     information are extremely inefficient when handling sparsely
     populated fonts.

EXAMPLE
     The command
          bdftruncate 0x3200 < 6x13.bdf > 6x13t.bdf
     will generate the file 6x13t.bdf in which  all  glyphs  with
     codes  >=  0x3200  will only be stored unencoded (i.e., they
     are encoded at codepoint -1).
