Use scripts/grabfonts.pl to get a .fdf font from the x font server. Take a
look at the first few lines of the script to see how the command line args
are translated to an X font name. You can comment/uncomment these first few
lines to specify the font differently if necessary.
You will get a .fdf font file (PicoGUI's little format) but it might need a
little tweaking due to a possible bug in the convertor.
Make a .fdf file for each version (bold, italic, etc) that you need, then
make a .fi file to specify the font's attributes. The server's ok at
generating bold and italics, so usually only the regular font style is
needed.
Take a look at existing .fi files for examples.
