Importing or converting .ttf font.

[Sliff2000]

I've noticed all the fonts for the menu end with .pf. I have a few .ttf fonts I would like to bring over to my mister. Is there a tool? I have looked to no avail. I am including the two fonts I would like to add/convert -- maybe someone will sprinkle some faery dust on them . Thanks.

TTF fonts are vector font and MiSTer takes bitmap fonts, but I thought I'd try and make a tool to convert them. Keep in mind that not all vector fonts are going to scale down well to 8x8 pix.

First step: Convert TFF to PNG

Second step: Convert PNG to PF

if you get an error about 'PNG':

Hope that helps:

I am including in my finds an 8x8 pf editor. You can also open multiple instances and copy and paste between them so you can add the system icons ((status bars, wifi, etc..)).
