19.SH DESCRIPTION
20.PP
21This program is part of
22.BR "Netpbm" (1)\c
23\&.
24.PP
25(There are no arguments or options)
26.PP
27\fBppmdcfont\fP creates a C source file that you can compile into
28a built-in font for use with the Netpbm PPM drawing facilities.  It
29reads a Ppmdfont file on Standard Input and writes the C source code to
30Standard Output.
31.PP
32The output C source code has the font object's name hardcoded as
33\fBppmd_standardfont\fP, which you will definitely want to edit,
34because that is the name of the font built in to \fBlibnetpbm\fP.  If
35you don't change it, it will conflict both cognitively and in program
36linking.  There should obviously be an option on \fBppmdcfont\fP to
37choose this, but the development effort has not been justified so far.
38.PP
39See
40.BR "Libnetpbm PPM Drawing Function
41Manual" (3)\c
