NAME

pbmtochar - convert a portable bitmap into a character picture  

SYNOPSIS

pbmtochar [pbmfile]  

DESCRIPTION

Reads a portable bitmap as input. Produces a character picture as output. This is done by pattern matching a built-in fixed width font to the bitmap. It is assumed that characters on the output device are black (true for printers and white screen terminals). If the output is to be displayed on a terminal where the characters are brighter than the background (most tty terminals) then the input must be inversed using pnminvert(1).  

BUGS

The built-in character font may not exactly match the font of the output device.
