[Image-SIG] Re: PIL-compatible fonts -- 200dpi, 250dpi, 300dpi, ...and beyond

[kcazabon]

The script to convert BDF files to PIL format is available in the standard
distribution (PilFont.py).  I modified it a bit to automate it for my
purposes though.  The 'real' trick was getting all my fonts into BDF format
first.

To do that, I purchased a program called "FonMaker" that converts Windows
fonts (Type 1 and TT) to BDF.  It's $99 USD, available at
http://www.fontlab.com.  I have a HUGE library of Windows fonts, but
converting them will just take too much space.
