> where do I find the list of cursor names

lib/Xt/Converters.c or look in <X11/cursorfont.h> and strip off the XC_ prefix.

showsnf -g fontfilename.snf >/tmp/out
edit /tmp/out
bmtoa /tmp/out >/tmp/out.bitmap

where bmtoa is a filter to convert arrays of characters into a bitmap file.
There are a whole slew of bitmap utilities in the pbm package that has been
floating around (which will be on the user-contributed section of R3; separate
bmtoa and atobm programs will also be located in the bitmap sources).
