Hi Chris
I just saw a C.O.L.A. posting of a release of a trutype font program.
I include the post verbaim, below, and hope it helps. Is there a
Debian package for this?

Announcing
F R E E T Y P E 1 . 0
The Final Release!
The FREE TrueType Font Engine
Copyright (C) 1996-1998 The FreeType Development Team
The FreeType engine is a free and portable TrueType font rendering
engine, available in ANSI C and Pascal source code. It has been
developed to provide TT support to a great variety of platforms
and environments.
Notice that FreeType is a *library*. It is *not* a font server
for your preferred environment, even though it has been designed
to be the basis of many high-level libraries, tools and font
servers.
It's a clean-room implementation that is not derived from the
original TT engine developed by Apple and Microsoft, though it
matches it regarding rendering quality. To our knowledge, it's
the only royalty-free complete TrueType engine available.
