thanks for the links.

CUPS already maps the 1-255 glyphs to their correct values by
using a file in /usr/share/cups/charsets called utf-8.
this file lists the glyph ranges and the font they're mapped to.
for example, from the things i do, i add this line
0600 06FF rtol single kacst
where kacst is the font name.

i solved that by forcing ttf2pt1 to generate the pfa file from
the 06 range only.

the only problem i have left is, i need a Free monospaced TTF
font. or a BDF to TTF converter so i can use Khotot fonts.


ak.
