I have been brain-washed into the same mold and don't care much for
copyright, just to set the tone here.

What I've found is that P9P's fontsrv is quite capable of providing
access to just about any font type in common usage with minimal
incantations.

Fontsrv is a little buggy, various versions in different manners, but
all failure modes I have encountered so far are non-destructive.
Anyone interested in giving me a hand consolidating the code into a
single, architecture-agnostic tool, please do contact me. What works
more or less out of the box is pretty good, it deserves more love and
affection.

Lucio.
