+Convert BDF bitmap fonts to flf FIGfonts for figlet.
+
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+bdf2flf simply takes BDF data from stdin and outputs flf data to stdout:
+
+$ bdf2flf < myfont.bdf > myfont.flf
+
+By default, the pixels that form the letters are represented by '#', with the
+spaces represented  by ' '. This can be changed using other tools:
+
+$ bdf2flf < Tamzen5x9r.bdf | sed 's/#/██/g; s/ /  /g' > Tamzen5x9r.flf
+
+This last example is what was used the make the header above (Tamzen font:
+https://github.com/sunaku/tamzen-font).
