convert font

[Salvatore Celsomino]

there is a system in order to convert a font .bdf or .pcf
into font .fon or .ttf.
i have tried bdftofon.exe and pcftofon.exe, but for the my font,
they have errors: too many characters.

thanks

That program only allows 256 glyphs. Remove any extra glyphs and try it again.

BTW, the sources are available at

ttf2pt1 (http://ttf2pt1.sf.net) can convert .bdf to
Type1 (.pfa or .pfb). Conversion to the smooth curves
is a bit experimental and incomplete yet, but the
direct by-pixel conversion works fine.

There is also some interactive editor, I forgot the
name, pfaedit or something, that can convert to TTF.
