	PalmFontConv 1.30 alpha
</title>

<body><![CDATA[	

        People have been asking for FontBucket support in Plucker. I did
        the next best (but easier) thing. I added FontBucket support to the
        PalmFontConv tool chain. In fact, you can now take just about any
        Palm font collection that contains standard or FontBucket font
        resources (whether for FontHack or for FontBucket or for Plucker or
        for Fonts4OS5 or ...) and rip the fonts out of that into text
        readable files that can be used as inputs to toplucker.tcl. Just
        run ripfonts.tcl, select the font database, press Go!, and presto,
        you have a bunch of text files describing all the fonts, and the
        text files can be imported into PalmFontConv or edited first.

        Note that you can now mix anti-aliased and non-anti-aliased fonts
        in one Plucker font package.

        As usual, it's at palmfontconv.sf.net . And it's in alpha, so be
        careful.
