Verdana 9 and 11 point bitmap fonts, converted from TrueType by Pointless:

I've posted some pictures of the results here:

Depending on the font anything less than about 8 or 9 points starts to lose
it since the screen doesn't have sufficient resolution. On a printer though
it looks great. Also the IIgs screen doesn't have square pixels, so most
fonts look stretched, but this is true of bitmap fonts too.
