My understanding is that FreeType can support bitmap fonts, but that
it's not implemented in Wine yet; Huw can give you the details. Anyway
most of the need for fnt2bdf was to convert the Windows standard
fonts, and these are basically all TrueType now.

I guess we could have a font control panel at some point, but there
isn't that much to manage anyway. As long as the font files are
somewhere on the font path everything should just work.
