How do I convert a BDF font to WOFF2?

Upload your BDF font file, choose WOFF2 as the output, and click Convert. The tool extracts each glyph's bitmap, metrics, and kerning, then packages them into a WOFF2 web font with the same character map. Download the .woff2 file and use it with @font-face. You can also adjust the encoding or subset options if your BDF uses non-latin characters.

Why convert BDF to WOFF2 instead of using the BDF file directly?

BDF (Bitmap Distribution Format) is a plain-text file used in Unix/X11 environments, while WOFF2 is the modern compressed web font format. Converting BDF to WOFF2 reduces file size through Brotli compression, improves page load times, and ensures compatibility across all current browsers. It also lets you serve a single web-ready file instead of raw .bdf, which is not natively supported by browsers.

What happens to BDF glyph bitmaps and hinting when converting to WOFF2?

The converter preserves each glyph's bitmap pixels, character widths, and bounding boxes exactly. BDF's embedded hinting is not vector-based, so it is converted to equivalent vertical/horizontal alignment in the WOFF2 bitmap glyph. If your BDF includes anti-aliasing or color information, it is retained in the embedded bitmap. Kerning pairs are preserved via the WOFF2 'kern' table when present in the original BDF.
