No offence taken.. :-)

I've been having server problems, not being able to post..

Finding the TTF editor is not the problem. Finding a TTF editor that does
bitmaps is.

I found a tool by Microsoft that merges .bdf fonts into TTFs as bitmaps, but
nothing for .fon.. I also found a MAC utility for transferring .fon to .bdf
but that's for the Mac.. I can't be bothered to do all the fonts again..

I guess I'll have to go through those endless Google result listings again..
You have no idea how much time I've spent going through them already.. :-)
