Hi my name is Paul,
I have no idea if this is possible but..
1) can you convert a .tfm font into a .ttf font?
if not..
2) what progam uses the .tfm format so that I can use the font?
any hints or answers would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Paul

you dont. tfm is just metrics, ttf is the actual font

TeX reads .tfm files to find out how big letters are. SOme other
program, like a driver, reads PK, Type1, TrueType etc to actually
render the letters.
spell out your problem more precisely! and dont mail TDS - thats for
discussion of a directory layout standard
