💅 bdftobogl — the manual, but make it cute

okay bestie, so this is bdftobogl, and it lives in the General Commands Manual section (section 1, the "commands you just type" section, iykyk). She's a bogl/bterm font convertor and honestly? she ate. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

bdftobogl — a bogl/bterm font convertor, periodt. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

bdftobogl font.bdf > font.c

bdftobogl -b font.bdf > font.bgf

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so basically, bdftobogl is a conversion program for BOGL fonts. you hand her a font, she hands you back something BOGL can actually use. 💖

and by default? she generates a C source file containing the converted BDF font. that's the vibe. no extra flags needed, she just does it. 👑

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -b — generate a .bgf font (for bterm) instead of C source. literally that's the whole flag, she's simple like that 🫶

🌈 NOTES 🌈

ngl this part is important if you're on Debian: on Debian systems, one appropriate BDF font can be found in the bf-utf-source package. so if you're sitting there like "where do I even get a font 😭" — that's your answer, bestie.

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

• bterm(1) — the whole reason .bgf exists, go say hi 🦋
