--------following is the original--README----------------------------
[I modified xfed to display the bounding box, ascent, descent,
 bearings etc.  Deals with R3 fonts now. Seems to work, sort of -- it
 collects all COMMENT lines after the STARTFONT, regardless where they
 appeared in the input file. I believe thiis what the BDF document
 states. Good for displaying the fonts, but doesn't work when you try
 and modify a character outside the bbox in most directions.  delinted
 it a bit too. For a full-blown font-editor, modify to use ImageEdit
 widget?  Should make it so it converts the character being edited to
 a grid, and allows you to do arbitrary things with the character, not
 just change pixels within the existing bounding box. A generalized
 bitmap editing widget, based on the bitmap program would be nice. -

This is a little font editor, which allows you to modify
the bitmaps of .bdf files.

This software is in the Public Domain; its free, to copy, modify
and distribute, as long as you:

	1) do not make profit with it

	2) leave the copyright/author texts in all files.


Have fun !!!

--------From this I(hunsoo) will make README----------------------------
I modified the xfed a lot.

I deleted the -psize and -nogrid options.

I changed the routines of reading .bdf file format.  The xfed of
original version used the yacc and lex package to make the reading routine.
I changed all the reading routine in initial() function.

I added a few windows.
I hope that the functions of those windows would be transparent.

In map windows(256 cells):
	LEFT   button: choose selected character as the current char
	MIDDLE button: OR operation of selected char with the current char
	RIGHT  button: put this char at the buffer.

In buffers windows(16 cells):
	LEFT   button: edit the selected buffer char.  The current char
		does not change at this operation)
	MIDDLE button: OR operation of the current char with
		the selected buffer char
	RIGHT  button: Clean the selected buffer.

I think xfed.man is absolte.
