Converting .TTF to .FON file

[christian felique]

I am looking for a program that can convert
a Truetype font to a Windows 3.0 .FON bitmap font.
I have found a program SysFon that converts
any TTF font to a Windows system font (also .FON).
It works fine, but it only converts fonts < 36 points.
(bigger typefaces are not allowed: it will
display error message : Font resource limited to 65K... or
something like that).

1. Is there a program that has no limitations like SysFon. ?
(convert TTF of any size to WIN .FON file)

2. SysFon converts the TTF to a FON file which holds only
one fontsize. But I know that there are .FON files which
hold more than one size : for example TMSRB.FON
(Tms Rmn font)
Is there a program that can convert a TTF to a FON
file with multiple fontsizes ?
FOR EXAMPLE Truetype Arial to FON: 36X20
20x18
10x8,....
or something like that

I need this program, because I still use Microsoft Quick C for DOS.
It supports MS WIN 3.0 FON files using
the graphics library functions : _registerfonts, _setfont,
_outgtext

F.E. _setfont("t'modern' w20 h30");

If you get hold of a copy of Type Foundry that used to
come with Adobe Type 1 fonts you can use it to generate
multi point size .FON files from Type 1 fonts. Bitstream
had a similar utility that came with their fonts.

You might be able to use TrueType directly under DOS
- I believe there are C libraries around for this.

(There is a Turbo Pascal library for this at:
ftp://ftp.coast.net/SimTel/msdos/turbopas/truetype.zip)

I believe this is a limit of Windows. (ini files also have this limit,
larger ones will crash).
