bdf-explorer

Quick BDF font utility, because I needed one. Forked from zachomedia/go-bdf - thanks!

commandline usage

bdf-explorer -font "<path>" 

Generates a png with a grid of all characters.

bdf-explorer -font "<path>"  -export

Generates a png with a grid of all and exports each character as a separate png file into a subdirectory.
