I want to install some rare fonts on a Lion1 system. I have not been able to find these fonts in formats that Font Book will immediately recognize. I would like to know if there's a way to convert or re-package these fonts in such a way that Font Book will accept.
One of the fonts ("pcsansi") is a single file with extension fon.
The other one ("Terminus") consists of multiple *.psf and *.pcf files, which were in turn generated from multiple *.bdf files.
(FWIW, at least one of these fonts, Terminus, is a bitmapped2 font, but for all I know both of them are.)
Is there a way to do what I'm trying to do?
PS: I am particularly keen on installing Terminus. Of the two fonts, it is the only one for which I was able to find any documentation at all. (See link above.) In fact, it comes with a ./configure + make + make install installation procedure, but the latter step only gzips and relocates the files *.psf and *.pcf files created during the make step.
1 This is the latest OS X version that will run on the hardware.
2 Yes, I am aware of the fact that not many people like bitmapped fonts. I still want to install these fonts.
