-[4] There is no formal PCF specification; you have to deduce the exact
- format from the source code within X11. George Williams did this for
- his FontForge editor:
+[4] See
+
+ THE X WINDOW SYSTEM SERVER: X VERSION 11, RELEASE 5
+ Elias Israel, Erik Fortune, Digital Press, 1992
+ ISBN 1-55558-096-3
+
+ for a specification given in Appendix D on pgs. 436-450. However,
+ this information might be out of date; unfortunately, there is no
+ PCF specification available online, and this book is out of print.
+ George Williams deduced the font format from the X11 sources and
+ documented it for his FontForge font editor:
