I believe that what you are looking for is PilRC. I think xFONT generates a
PilRC compatible description of a Font (usually 'NFNT') resource.
Good Luck,

Subject: Converting Windows fonts to Palm format
Does anyone know if there exists any conversion software to translate
Windows fonts into a format that I can use with CodeWarrior 6? I have found
a program on palmgear.com called xFONT that will convert Windows fonts into
a .pfn file, which is readable as a text file. Then I purchased Font Editor
from palmgear.com, which allows importing Palm fonts from .pdb files and
also can generate new fonts built from scratch and produces a .pft file. The
instructions included with Font Editor have a section credited to James
Lynes that describes how to use a .pft file with
CodeWarrior.
Now what I need is a program that can translate a .pfn file to a .pft file.
Or, I need a program like Font Editor that can import Windows fonts and
translate them into .pft files. Or, if anyone knows the format of .pft files
or how to generate them, then I could try to create my own program to
translate .pfn files to .pft format. Any help appreciated.
