- Is there any way to reencode a TrueType font (for use in Windows say)?
-
- There are some TT fonts that have characters in all the wrong places
- (to get an `A' you need to type a `d,' for example) and it would be
- nice to be able to use them despite this defect. I am mostly interested
- in fonts that are NOT plain vanilla text fonts.
-
- Also, is there a way to reencode a TT font so you can get at the ligatures?
- From an application that is, I don't want to rewrite the operating system...
