I've had reasonable luck with ttf2bdf. It's what was used to produce the FreeType and ShareType font distribututions (the former has been made a FreeBSD package). And I've used ttf2bdf to convert some other Windoze TTFs I've found lying around on the net (Trek fonts, etc.) for use on my FreeBSD and Solaris boxes. Attached is the message I saved off regarding this package. Randall Hopper | |> Have I to convert them?
