It should be noted though, the following limitations exist with the
X11 fonts generated by this procedure:
1. The XLFD attributes are not generated in this process. So you end
up with fonts called "Helvitica-8" not
"-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--8-80-75-75-p-46-iso8859-1"
2. None of the font properties (eg QUAD_WIDTH) are generated.
3. The fonts all come out as if designed for 72 dpi. (not 75 dpi or
100 dpi)
4. The Symbol and Zapf Dingbats fonts require special handling, due to
their use of a special character encoding.
Anyone know how to overcome these limitations?
