i've got a freetype 1 port that might help, but the licence under
which you obtained that .ttf file almost certainly allows its use only
under windows, so there's not much point in converting it, unless you
were planning to licence the typeface yourself for use on Plan 9 (but
they often come from monobrained Monotype, so good luck).

I downloaded arialuni.ttf from Microsloth's web site (
http://office.microsoft.com/downloads/2000/aruniupd.aspx ) for use on
windows. Arial Unicode MS is a BIG 11 MB download, & claims to include
every one of the 40000 characters in Unicode 2.1 .
Is there some way to convert this font (at a specific size & weight,
of course) to font(6) format? I find it difficult to believe that all
Plan9 fonts were created using the horrid tweak utility.
