What is BDF file?
The BDF (Glyph Bitmap Distribution Format) file extension is a plain text type format used for storing font data. It was originally created by Adobe Systems in 1985 for the bitmap distribution of PC fonts on the X Window System. In addition, BDF files are mainly used by various types of software programs including desktop publishing software, HTML authoring tools, and bitmap viewers. [ ⏩ ] BDF file extension
What is JPEG file?
JPEG (.JPEG) is an image format widely used in digital cameras and Internet conversational mediums. This file type is owned by The Joint Photographic Experts Group and is supported by most operating systems, image processing applications, as well as web browsers. JPEG files are characterized by lossy compression, where the file size is reduced by discarding some of the data, resulting in reduced quality but with, significant size reduction.

How to convert the file from BDF to JPEG?
To successfully convert the BDF file to JPEG, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.BDF). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case JPEG (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than JPEG).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. BDF to JPEG. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting BDF files to JPEG files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension JPEG, while before this step we had the BDF file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new JPEG file, or not.
