pbmtochar
SYNOPSIS
pbmtochar [pbmfile]
DESCRIPTION
Reads a portable bitmap as input. Produces a character pic-
ture as output. This is done by pattern matching a built-in
fixed width font to the bitmap. It is assumed that charac-
ters 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.
