NAME

       pktopbm - convert packed (PK) format font into PBM

SYNOPSIS

       pktopbm pkfile [ -x width ] [ -y height ] [-c num] pbmfile ...

DESCRIPTION

       This program is part of Netpbm(1).

       pktopbm reads a packed (PK) font file as input, and produces PBM images as output. If the filename "-" is
       used  for  any of the filenames, the standard input stream (or standard output where appropriate) will be
       used. If either the width or height is specified, this value will be used for all bitmaps produced.  Also
       if  one  or both values are specified, the bitmap will be relocated with the hoffset and voffset given in
       the pkfile. The basepoint will be placed in the lower left corner of the bitmap if the bitmap  is  bigger
       than the specified size it will be truncated at the top or right.

OPTIONS

       In  addition  to  the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm (most notably -quiet, see  Common
       Options ), pktopbm recognizes the following command line options:

       -character num

                  This is the code point (character number) to which the first
                  specified output file pertains.  Ergo, there is no output for any
                  code point lower than this.

       -x width
                The width of the image in columns.

                The default is what is specified in the font file.

       -y width
              The height of the image in rows.

              The default is what is specified in the font file.

HISTORY

       Before Netpbm 11.04 (September 2023), the program would sometimes add
         the suffix '.pk' to the specified input file name.  It also
         let you specify multiple -c options, with each applying to the
         output file names that came after it.
