FONT

     VMS DECwindows includes a font compiler that enables programmers
     to convert an ASCII bitmap distribution format (BDF) into binary
     server natural form (SNF). The server uses an SNF file to display
     a font. In addition to converting the BDF file to binary form,
     the compiler provides statistical information about the font and
     the compilation process. For more information about using the font
     compiler, refer to the VMS DECwindows Xlib Programming Volume.
