I don't think there isn't any support for OpenType font in GNUstep
right now, but may be this can be implemented.

Unless I'm mistaken, Freetype can uses OpenType fonts, no ? And we use freetype.

iirc morevover we use a special font format based on a bundle, that
means fonts have to be converted.

Yes, but it's not really converted -- ie the font itself is left
untouched, it's simply that all the fonts of a police are gathered in
a common bundle, and there's a file describing the fonts. mknfonts
genererate all that automatically.
(note that's particular to back-art -- other backends work with fonts
in different ways)
