Post convert bitmap font to truetype
i'm kinda gettig sick of this whole font-format-incompatibility bullsh*t..

well, i'm using a bitmap font (mints-mild) for my bblean setup, and i'd like winamp to use the same font.
BUT, winamp doesn't like bitmap fonts, so i'll have to convert it to truetype.

now the question - HOW? i googled, but didn't find nothing, only truetype to bitmap.. :?

bitmap to truetype is not possible, because truetype is a vector format... You can make truetype font, that is similar to your bitmap (but software is too expensive), or try to find similar truetype font.

There is this font (bbfontpack_ttf.rar already converted (on the middle of the thread), they have nordic characteres, but I think they can be usefull.
