My understanding is that FreeType can support bitmap fonts, but that
it's not implemented in Wine yet; Huw can give you the details. Anyway
most of the need for fnt2bdf was to convert the Windows standard
fonts, and these are basically all TrueType now.
I wonder whether people still want to run applications that
are packaged with their own Windows bitmap fonts. I think
I run into that periodically. It would be interesting to
work out how to support those properly under Wine, even
though they're obsolete.
I suppose Wine would need some user-space app to manage
these fonts, then?
I guess we could have a font control panel at some point, but there
isn't that much to manage anyway. As long as the font files are
somewhere on the font path everything should just work.
Since the average user can't deal with font paths,
this little font control panel will be important.
Maybe even required for wine1.0, who knows.
