I have a 48x48 image (part of this message in the X-Face line), in several formats (gif, xbm, pbm) and am trying to get it into a form in which e.g. tweak can deal with it. (Ideally(?), of course, the face(6) 'historical' format :-) Somehow I seem to be missing the right trick - for formats like gif, pbm, xbm, tweak says that it cannot read it. After conversion to 'native' image format using (ITIR) 'gif -9ck face.img' tweak complains that it cannot deal with the bit depth (16 > 8). Looking at the man pages for the suggested commands (thanks!) I have the impression that iconv should be able to do the trick, but I'm not so familiar with the 'chandesc' concept so I seem to overlook the right incantation ... Anyway, thanks for the help so far, (it's time to call it a day), Axel.
