Darya> Hi all, I like to use an Iranian Unicode-based-true-type-font also

This isn't relevant to the Unicode list.  Try using one of the Freetype lists
(http://www.freetype.org) or one of the XFree86 lists
(http://www.xfree86.org).

    Darya> akbari@sokrates:~/fonts/ttf2bdf > ttf2bdf ../koodamaz.ttf
    Darya> ttf2bdf[771]: unable to create instance.

    Darya> Does anyone know what that means?

This usually means the font got corrupted somehow and Freetype can't read it.
If you transfered this using FTP, you might want to try again by transfering
in binary mode.
