Is there a PD format specification available for the font used in Windows 3.0?
(like the one for BDF, in the X Window System, for instance)
Moveover, are there already a lot of converters from and to this format.

A general question now: what do you think is the most used font format
in the computer industry today, either for bitmap fonts (BDF, LASERJET, WIN3..)
or for outline (Type1, F3, Royal...).
