fonts, to generate several fonts of differing size.
I had some success with utility ttf2bdf from Freetype1 library. (and
subsequent use of bdftopcf).
However, ttf2bdf is buggy and cannot convert, say, COUR.ttf (Corier
New font). It chokes on it and produces a file without any characters
defined.
Freetype1 is no longer supported, so I am looking for an alternative.
Freetype2 seems to only be a library.
So, I want to find some tool to convert TTF fonts to bitmapped Unix
fonts (PCF).
Some may ask, why bitmapped? The answer is that there is some third
party library that needs them.
