I have TTF2F 0.03 (15-Aug-2005), but notice that the expected download
links at
http://moose.mine.nu/ttf2f.zip
http://moose.mine.nu/ttf2f_latest.zip
don't work.

The app, by John-Mark Bell, converts Truetype fonts to Acorn for use
by RISC OS 5's Font manager.

- Is the app still available for download?

-Is there a later version?

Grateful any update.

Google, with a bit of digging, has found it on http://jmb.drobe.co.uk/
Bottom of the page.

This is excellent as I can be asked to use TrueType Fonts in layout quite
often, so thought I would give it a try.

I picked a TT font almost at random (Redhead Goddess
http://www.dafont.com/redhead-goddess.font) and it seems to have
converted fine, except that the alphabet is offset by 5, i.e. pressing
"F" produces "A" and so on.

Is this a known issue with some fonts?

Maybe with some fonts, but it converted Cyberbit for me accurately.
