Convert VGA fonts to TTF fonts

Post by entropy »

Greetings:
Does anyone have a routine for converting VGA fonts to TTF fonts? I have a large group of VGA fonts with specially designed characters for a variety of ancient languages that I cannot use in a Windows environment. Any suggests will be greatly appreciated. -- Entropy

If you have some way to get the individual letters into bitmaps, FontCreator can import bitmaps, but you will still have some work to do with adjusting spacing.

Low resolution bitmaps will give poor results too.
