I've seen a couple packages that allow you to "Make Fonts
from Anything"... (Windows TrueType & Adobe Type 1)
Hmmn... just found them.... ScanFont 3.0; FontLab &
SigMaker....
Reply directly and I'll get the details to you...

| 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);
|
