The PCF reader should be bug-free, with the exception that it
doesn't work on big-endian systems, since it doesn't yet try
to byte-swap. (You must use v0.89, prior versions were buggy).
If you're running 0.89 and little-endian, please send me the .pcf
font and I'll take a look at it.

Definitely, they're converted to the same internal bitmap format
as the built-in fonts.
