Well, you *did* describe the feature as being, effectively, a glorified mknfonts -- which is useful, but not sufficient. I would suggest something more interactive, so the human using the program gets a chance to affect the result. :) By the way, there was a (commercial) font manager for NeXTStep called FontMonger IIRC that would take Adobe Type 1 fonts for the Mac and Windows, build groups of .font packages (a .font contains only one face, so you need them in groups to get a full font family), and generate screen fonts to reside inside them. It was rather nice. IIRC, at some point it did some (rather poor) conversions from TrueType to Type 1 (it had to be poor since TrueType fonts contain quadratic Bézier splines, while PostScript/PDF/etc. use cubic).
