Introduction 1.1. Project/Component Working Name: EOF of bdftosnf and showsnf 1.2. Name of Document Author/Supplier: Author: Stuart Kreitman 1.3 Date of This Document: 16 June, 2009 4. Technical Description bdftosnf converts Bitmap Data Format font files to Server Natural Format (SNF) Font files. showsnf displays contents of SNF files. I dug up a few references of its history: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/802-2011/6i60mct6n?a=view: "SNF is an older font file format that is replaced by the Portable Compiled Format (PFC). PCF is the preferred format for font files and one can use bdftopcf(1) to convert a BDF font file to a PCF font file. http://iasonline.com:457/cgi-bin/man/man?bdftosnf+X: "bdftosnf has been replaced by bdftopcf in the X11R5 release; SNF files are only used for backwards compatibility" With the EOF of Xsun it is time to drop these utilities. This case announces the EOF of, and removes, the bdftosnf and showsnf utilities and documentation from Solaris Nevada and OpenSolaris.
