Hi Alan I've looked closer in the configuration and font handling code, There are actually two type of font files, that it can use (some of the filters use one of them, the rest use the other).
For .cgm files it is afm/pfa/pfb files that are being used. The default font-dir is still ~/.uniconvertor/fonts and inside this as far as i can deduce, the fonts need to reside in some special directory layout, but exactly what the layout is, is not documented. My guess is that they may need to be put into a type1 directory. But in general the font support in uniconvertor is still lacking some. If you find out anything interesting, please let me know.
