How do I convert a WOFF2 file to BDF?

Upload your WOFF2 file, then set the target pixel size and DPI (e.g., 12pt at 96 DPI). Choose a glyph range to reduce output size, then click 'Convert'. The tool rasterizes each vector glyph into a BDF bitmap. Download the .bdf file and load it in your X11 or embedded font path.

Why should I convert WOFF2 to BDF?

WOFF2 is a compressed outline font format for web browsers, while BDF is a plain-text bitmap font used by X11, legacy terminal emulators, and embedded displays. Converting makes your font available in environments that don't support WOFF2, or gives you exact pixel control at a fixed size — something outline fonts can't offer without rendering engines.

What happens to font metrics and hinting during WOFF2 to BDF conversion?

The converter renders each glyph's vector outlines into a bitmap grid at your selected size and DPI. It preserves font metrics like advance width and baseline, but kerning and hinting instructions are not stored in BDF. Enabling anti-aliasing produces grayscale edges; disabling it yields crisp, monochrome pixels. No additional data layers are carried over.
