Convert font

Use otf2bdf (mirror) to convert any OpenType to BDF.

$ cd fonts
$ otf2bdf /path/to/myfont.otf > myfont.bdf
$ make

Common issues

fonts/make crashes with “Unable to parse font!”

If you see something like this:

$ cd ttystudio/fonts
$ make
ttystudio/vendor/pxxl.js:1066
  throw new Error("Unable to parse font!");
        ^
Error: Unable to parse font!

Then check if the BDF file doesn’t contain any character from extended ASCII table like © etc.
