Chapter 6: Font Formats, Glyph Sets, and Font Tools
Level 1 kanji. Interestingly, versions of EGWord beyond version 2.2 included support for
JIS Level 2 kanji by virtue of running under Mac OS-J.
Japanese bitmapped charactersFigure 6-3.
You can nd bitmapped CJKV fonts at FTP sites, usually in the form of BDF les.

are easily obtainable tools that allow BDF les to be converted into other formats. Some
of these tools, such as bdosnf or bdopcf, may be already installed if you are running the
X Window System. You can also use Mark Leisher’s XmBDFEditor, or his newer gbdfed,
to create and edit BDF les; this X Window System tool is described later in the chapter.
e FreeType Project has developed a TrueType-to-BDF converter called ttf2bdf, which
is useful for creating CJKV BDF fonts when a suitable BDF font cannot be found, and is
based on FreeType version 1.
†
is tool has been surpassed by Mark’s otf2bdf tool, which
is based on FreeType version 2.
‡
HBF Font Format
e Hanzi Bitmap Font (HBF) format is similar to BDF in how it describes the actual
character bitmap patterns, but it also creates a space-saving advantage by assuming that
all the characters have certain attributes in common, such as a common display and pixel
width.
