I currently use FontLab to build all of our fonts, my problem is getting it
from TTF to the Palm Format.

I currently use HandsHigh FontBucket (which creates a PDB based on a TTF,
then I rip out the PDB header information and use the resulting binary data
as a nfnt resource. (for HD fonts)

Because this really sucks at the lower pixel points, I use xFont 1.2 to
extract non-hd fonts, which then creates the ASCII file that PilRc can use.
Since it's in ascii format, I can manually update the resulting PFN file(s)
and work from that.

There MUST be a better way? - If there is, could someone please help.  I
would think that FontLab or some other font program would be better able to
convert the vector to a better bitmap than these other two programs.

Is there some format that I can save these fonts in (from a font editor)
that I can then hack into a Palm Font resource (by adding the header or
whatever).

Any insight would be greatly appreciated..

How about support for TTF (has anyone written anything like this for the
Palm - maybe even 5.x and above?)

thanks - bill
