NAME
     showsnf - displays the content of an SNF file

SYNOPSIS
     showsnf [-v] [-g] [-m] [-M] [-l] [-L] [-ppad]
     [-uscanline-unit] snf-file ...

DESCRIPTION
     showsnf displays the content of font files in the server na-
     tural format produced by bdftosnf(1X).  It is usually used
     to verify that a font file has not been corrupted.  It is
     also used to convert the individual glyphs into arrays of
     characters for proofreading or to convert to another format.

   Options
     The showsnf command accepts these options:

     -g      Indicates that character glyph bitmaps should be
             printed.

     -L      Indicates that the byte order of the font is
             LSBFirst (least significant byte first).

     -l      Indicates that the bit order of the font is LSBFirst
             (least significant bit first).

     -M      Indicates that the byte order of the font is
             MSBFirst (most significant byte first).

     -m      Indicates that the bit order of the font is MSBFirst
             (most significant bit first).

     -ppad   Specifies the glyph padding of the font, where pad
             is a number.

     -uscanline-unit
             Specifies the scanline unit of the font, where
             scanline-unit is a number.

     -v      Indicates that character bearings and sizes should
             be printed.

LIMITATIONS
     There is no way to print out a single glyph.
