Hi,
Forgot to add:
There are at least two types of PFR fonts. FreeType only supports
"PFR0" fonts. There is another format, "PFR1", also known as "compressed
PFRs", that (AFAIK) is undocumented & proprietary. The first 4 bytes
in a PFR font file are the string "PFR0" or "PFR1", to identify the type.
Kind regards,
Jon Foster
