It is now possible to use bitmap-only SFNTs in XFree86. There is very
little left to do at the server level, some more work is needed at the
level of fonttosfnt and mkfontscale.
0. Check you've got the right version of XFree86.
$ cvs log xc/lib/font/fontfile/fontdir.c | grep 289
289.
4. Convert all the fonts to bitmap-only sfnt, and give them the
extension ttf (for now -- see my next message):
$ for i in *.pcf; do fonttosfnt -o ${i%.pcf}.ttf $i ; done
$ rm *.pcf
Sorry, forgot an important step: transcoded fonts should be removed,
on-the-fly transcoding will happen.
