It will be eventually; right now, it only handles outline fonts from
FreeType.
The problem with PCF is that it's a poor format for incrementally fetching
glyphs; the usual compressed format separates the two requiring the
application to uncompress the entire file each time a glyph is loaded. I
suspect a new bitmap font file format will be required, one which supports
compression while still permitting incremental glyph reading.
