pbmtogf – Convert PBM images to GF font files

A utility to convert a pbm (portable bitmap) file to a GF (font) and a PL (property list/metrics) file, effectively creating a font from the bitmap. The font can then be used in any TeX/LaTeX file.

A similar operation is undertaken by the pbmtopk bundle (which is also able to translate back to PBM format).
