speaking of fonts, i took the time today to convert a few of the
freely downloadable microsoft fonts (they come with some XML tool
package that is freely available on the net, i can dig it out if you
really want to know the source).
ttf2subf does have its issues and they do crop up more and more often
nowadays -- constantia cuts off characters at the bottom for example,
also i'm not really sure the size calculations are correct (-s 14
definitely doesn't match default font's size 14) but there are a
couple of fonts that seem usable: consolas and calibri.
i want pretty fonts in acme, but i'm not sure ttf2subf will get us
there without major work (and a new port of the freetype libraries).
