I got off to a bad start when !FTPc did not find communicator in pub.
Changing the URL prefix to http: and Oregano2 obliged.
Done all that, and after a brief read of the help file for TTF2f,
I've
put off doing anything more till another day.
One thing I couldn't quite follow is where to put the converted font.
The converted font is a RISC OS font and it goes inside any !Fonts
application, mine went into !Boot.Resources.!Fonts
The awkward bit on the Iyonix is updating the Messages1 file. A new font
not referred to in that file will not be available for use. I used
!ScanFonts from Select which works with Aemulor. Otherwise the new font
could be extracted, put into a dummy !Fonts and then installed via the
Fonts configuration.

If in doubt just delete the message1 file. With a fast machine it doesn't
take long to scan all the fonts. It only really makes a difference if you
keep 1000's of fonts installed all the time, and have Risc PC disc speeds.
It can always be recrated installing and empty fonts folder using !Configure.
Not it will place the Messages1 file in the last font directory in the path,
so you may have to move it back to !Boot.Resources.!Fonts.
