If you have a Windows format, all you need to know is MAC Bitmapped Font
('NFNT') Resource.
It is almost identical to PALM font. Description is at
http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/mac/Text/Text-181.html.
At www.Palmgear.com you can find New Data Masters Font Tool, but I really
don't know, if it converts
Japanese TTFs too.

Sorry, for Japanese, if there is some difference, I don't know. For Central
Europe:
font128=MemHandleLock(DmGetResource('NFNT', 1000));
FntDefineFont(128, font128);
...
FntSetFont(128);
