[3] Support is rudimentary currently; some tables are not loaded yet.
[4] There is no formal PCF specification; you have to deduce the exact
format from the source code within X11. George Williams did this for
his FontForge editor:
[4] See
THE X WINDOW SYSTEM SERVER: X VERSION 11, RELEASE 5
Elias Israel, Erik Fortune, Digital Press, 1992
ISBN 1-55558-096-3
for a specification given in Appendix D on pgs. 436-450. However,
this information might be out of date; unfortunately, there is no
PCF specification available online, and this book is out of print.
George Williams deduced the font format from the X11 sources and
documented it for his FontForge font editor:
