Convert BDF bitmap fonts to flf FIGfonts for figlet.

Usage

-----

bdf2flf simply takes BDF data from stdin and outputs flf data to stdout:

$ bdf2flf < myfont.bdf > myfont.flf

By default, the pixels that form the letters are represented by '#', with the

spaces represented  by ' '. This can be changed using other tools:

$ bdf2flf < Tamzen5x9r.bdf | sed 's/#/██/g; s/ /  /g' > Tamzen5x9r.flf

This last example is what was used the make the header above (Tamzen font:

https://github.com/sunaku/tamzen-font).

To install

----------

$ make

$ sudo make install

To uninstall

------------
