Someone in another forum chased down the sdf thing.

Here is an example:
https://fontforge.org/downloads/Big5.txt

and here is the format:
https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jammy/man1/ttf2tfm.1.html#subfont%20definition%20files

Hope that helps,

Sorry, I don't recall. Things may have changed since
I last performed this task. It's mentioned here:

You can convert TTF fonts to Plan 9 fonts using plan9port's fontsrv.

See https://9fans.github.io/plan9port/man/man4/fontsrv.html

For example:

fontsrv -m /mnt/font &
ls /mnt/font

[9fans] troff and fonts

2022-09-16 Thread Maurizio Boriani


Hi,
  I've ttf font, for example[1], and I would like have 'em working with p9p
troff.

  I see some stuff in p9p/troff/font/devutf/ (the ones which I use with
.ft request).

  Is there a way to "convert" [1] into p9p/troff/font/devutf/

Thank you,

best regards
