+otf2bdf (opentype/truetype to bdf font converter)
+
+otf2bdf is a command line utility that uses the FreeType 2 font rendering
+library to generate BDF bitmap fonts from OpenType/TrueType outline fonts
+at different sizes and resolutions. This program is essentially the same
+as the ttf2bdf program except that it uses FreeType 2.*, not FreeType
+1.*, has some bug fixes, and includes a new command line parameter to
+print out the available encoding tables in the font.
+
+For best results, the original font should be monospaced.
+
+The mapping files for use with the -m option are installed in
+/usr/share/otf2bdf/.
