It depends on what you want to do, your question isn't specific enough. Do you want a bitmap only ttf file? (only supported by Apple & Linux) Open the BDF file File->Generate Fonts Select "No Outline Font" (should already be selected) Select either "sbits only (dfont)" or "OpenType Bitmap" [Save] Do you want to convert a bitmap font into outlines? If so the quality will be extremely poor unless you have a very large pointsize Create a New font File->Import Format "BDF" [*] As Background [Import] Edit->Select All Element->AutoTrace File->Generate Fonts You will need to download a copy of either autotrace or potrace to do this. I don't really recommend this, it doesn't work at all well on most inputs. |
