I've finally released a build of fontforge containing the code for the 'BDF ' sfnt-table.
I'm attaching two (fontforge) scripts that can be used to convert a bunch of bdf/pcf files into an otb and back to bdf files. $ fontforge -script bdf2sfnt.pe outputfile.otb strike1.bdf [strike2.bdf ...] $ fontforge -script sfnt2bdf.pe baseoutputname.bdf input.otb The first coagulates all the bdf/pcf strikes given on the command line and then produces an otb file named "outputfile.otb". The second takes all strikes out of the input file (otb, ttf, otf) and generates a series of bdf files with names like "baseoutputname"-<pixelsize>.bdf
