Let your AI agent convert PFM to SIXEL
Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other agents can do this with Filestar. This skill runs in Filestar's cloud and needs a paid Filestar plan.
Install Filestar and add it to your agents:
npm install -g filestar
filestarcli agent install
Then ask your agent:
“Convert the PFM files in my Downloads folder to SIXEL”
Or run it yourself:
filestarcli -i file.pfm -c "convert to sixel"

A Printer Font Metrics (PFM) file is a type of file associated with Adobe Type 1 fonts used in Microsoft Windows. It contains metric information about a font, such as character widths, heights, and kerning pairs, which are essential for correctly displaying and printing text. The PFM file works in conjunction with a PFB (Printer Font Binary) file, which contains the actual font outline data.
Created by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), SIXEL is a bitmap image format in an escaped sequence (seen as six pixels high and one pixel wide). You have to convert it into a more accessible format if you don’t have a DEC terminal to view it.
