Once you have the fonts in Mac TrueType format, Pointless will rasterize
them in whatever size you want.  I used it much more for this purpose than
for on-the-fly rendering in 16-bit programs as I used to do all of my word
processing in AppleWorks 3.0 with TimeOut SuperFonts and all of my DTP in
PublishIt! 4.

Does that utility you have that translates TrueType fonts go the other way,
and where did you get it?  I have a ton of fonts I collected back in the day
for use with Pointless; it'd be nice to have some of them available under
Win98.
