strange, i had 2 files attached, one of which being the script.

here is it again:

#! /usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import fontforge
for gly in fontforge.open("cursor.bdf").glyphs():
	gly.export(gly.glyphname + ".png")

i’m not on my linux, so i only can thank you and try it when i’m there
