OPTIONS -p# Force the glyph padding to a specific number. The legal values are 1, 2, 4, and 8. -s# Force the scanline unit padding to a specific number. The legal values are 1, 2, and 4. -m Force the bit order to most significant bit first. -l Force the bit order to least significant bit first. -M Force the byte order to most significant bit first. -L Force the byte order to least significant bit first. -w Print warnings if the character bitmaps have bits set to one outside of their defined widths. -t Expand glyphs in terminal-emulator fonts to fill the bounding box.
