Hi ports@,

Here is a new port: converters/bdf2sfd.

For the record, it was originally created to generate OpenType versions
of Spleen, and is released in the hope it can be useful to convert other
fonts as well.

Please be aware that it works best on fonts proportional to 8x16. Other
sizes will work but the aspect ratio will not be preserved.

>From DESCR:

bdf2sfd is a BDF to SFD converter, allowing to vectorize bitmap fonts.

It works by converting each pixel of a glyph to a polygon, which produces
large and unoptimized SFD files that should be post-processed using
FontForge.

Comments? OK?
