# BdfFont.Python
[](https://www.python.org)
[](https://pypi.org/project/bdffont/)
BdfFont is a library for manipulating [Glyph Bitmap Distribution Format (BDF) Fonts](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glyph_Bitmap_Distribution_Format).
## Installation
```shell
pip install bdffont
```
## Usage
### Create
```python
import shutil
import statistics
from bdffont import BdfFont, BdfGlyph
from examples import build_dir
def main():
outputs_dir = build_dir.joinpath('create')
if outputs_dir.exists():
shutil.rmtree(outputs_dir)
outputs_dir.mkdir(parents=True)
font = BdfFont(
point_size=16,
resolution=(75, 75),
bounding_box=(16, 16, 0, -2),
)
font.glyphs.append(BdfGlyph(
name='A',
encoding=65,
scalable_width=(500, 0),
