说明
fonttosfnt converts bitmap fonts (BDF, PCF) to SFNT format (TrueType/OpenType with bitmap data). It preserves bitmap glyphs while providing modern font file format. The tool embeds bitmap strikes in SFNT wrappers, enabling use of legacy bitmap fonts in systems expecting modern font formats. Multiple input fonts can be merged. fonttosfnt bridges classic X11 bitmap fonts with contemporary font infrastructure.
