  .SH NAME
  bdftruncate \- generate truncated BDF font from ISO 10646-1-encoded BDF font

  .SH DESCRIPTION
  .B bdftruncate
  allows one to generate from an ISO10646-1 encoded BDF font other ISO10646-1
  BDF fonts in which all characters above a threshold code value are stored
  unencoded.  This is often desirable because the Xlib API and X11 protocol
  data structures used for representing font metric information are extremely
  inefficient when handling sparsely populated fonts.

  .SH EXAMPLE
  The command
  .RS
  bdftruncate 0x3200 < 6x13.bdf > 6x13t.bdf
  .RE
  will generate the file 6x13t.bdf in which all glyphs with codes
  >= 0x3200 will only be stored unencoded (i.e., they are encoded at
  codepoint -1).
