Well I tried it and I guess the answer is no. It's not just
a renamed .ttf font. Does anybody know the format of
a .dfont file on Mac OS X? I'll ask on the FreeType list
too, as somebody there may know as well.
Wait just a sec here! I *started* this message on the FreeType
list. How'd it get onto the gnome list? Did Leonard CC it
there or did I? If you're getting this reply on the gnome-devl-list,
accept this as an apology for my previous off-topic message
and ignore it.
