Curiouser and curiouser! I've downloaded that Cyberbit, and have 
converted it. I get the same size as I had before for the extracted 
font (22,373,954 bytes) different from Tony's. This is with TTF2f 0.03 
(15 August 2005); is there a more recent version, I wonder? The link 
given in the Iconbar page says "forbidden", and a Google search for 
the app gives a link which is dead.

Giving it all up for the time being, particularly as exiting VRPC has 
just stiffed the Windows laptop :-(

Thanks for the advice, anyway.

With best wishes,

Peter.
