How do I convert WOFF to PCF?

Upload your WOFF file, choose the desired DPI (e.g., 96) and glyph size, then click Convert. The tool rasterizes each glyph outline into a PCF bitmap and packages it into a .pcf file. Download it and place it in your X11 font directory, then run 'mkfontdir' to index it.

Why would I need to convert WOFF to PCF?

WOFF is a compressed vector font format for web pages, while PCF is a bitmap font format used by the X Window System. Converting becomes necessary when running legacy X11 applications, terminals, or embedded systems that require bitmap fonts and don't support vector font rendering. A PCF font also renders consistently at a fixed size without relying on system anti-aliasing settings.

How does the conversion preserve glyph hints, kerning, and Unicode mappings?

The rasterizer applies hinting instructions from the WOFF source when drawing each bitmap, so vertical stems stay sharp at the chosen size. Kerning is not preserved as a separate table; instead, each glyph's bitmap is placed with its advance width baked in. Unicode codepoints are mapped to the corresponding PCF bitmap, but OpenType features like ligatures or alternates are flattened into static glyphs.
