Very VERY confusing. All I needed to do was get a .ttf to a .pdb, There was like 20 pages of stuff I didn't need to know and what I did need to know, wasnt helpful. How did the manual get from 1 .bin file to like 2 RSRCXXXX.ext files??? i looked inbetween, but saw nothing! Oh well, I tried =\

I should also mention that with Font Collector (elsewhere on this site) and FontHackV (likewise), PalmFontConv'd fonts can be used for anything on the handheld. Double super nifty.

Super nifty. If you're building under Linux/Unix/etc and get various errors about 'undefined function strnicmp' or similar, you may need to add '-D__GNUCC__' to the Makefile's CFLAGS variable. I'm not sure why gcc doesn't define that symbol on its own. Works a treat! Thanks.
