Converts an ASCII bitmap distribution format (BDF) into binary portable compiled format (PCF) on Alpha systems and into binary server natural form (SNF) on VAX systems. The DECwindows server uses a PCF or SNF file to display a font. In addition to converting the BDF file to binary form, the font compiler provides statistical information about the font and the compilation process.

For more information about using the font compiler, see the the OpenVMS DECwindows programming documentation or online help.
