otf2bdf (opentype/truetype to bdf font converter) otf2bdf is a command line utility that uses the FreeType 2 font rendering library to generate BDF bitmap fonts from OpenType/TrueType outline fonts at different sizes and resolutions. This program is essentially the same as the ttf2bdf program except that it uses FreeType 2.*, not FreeType 1.*, has some bug fixes, and includes a new command line parameter to print out the available encoding tables in the font. For best results, the original font should be monospaced. The mapping files for use with the -m option are installed in /usr/share/otf2bdf/.
