I've since had a revelation that we should discard PCF font files and replace them with TTF files containing an embedded bitmap. This would eliminate miles of senseless code in X while providing the automatic transcoding features we have for TrueType fonts. Font files would be dramatically smaller as they would use a TrueType encoding instead of the single array present in PCF files. If anyone has experience writing TrueType font files, help would be greatly appreciated in building something that can create these new files.
