Juliusz wrote fonttosfnt which combines multiple BDF sizes into a single SFNT. It's in CVS at freedesktop.org in the xapps module $ cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs/xapps co fonttosfnt should do the trick. It's reasonably functional, the plan was to use it to eliminate BDF/PCF fonts from the X distribution and ship only TTF files. That's been stalled for a couple of years as we need to preserve all of the mystic BDF properties, and be able to regenerate BDF fonts as needed (BDF being the only X standard for font distribution). -keith
