[comp.fonts] Outline fonts for sale?

asgeir@forit.uit.no (Asgeir Finnseth) (09/21/90)

A Norwegian software company wants to license outline fonts to use
with their proprietary rendering software (a graphics library for PC,
written in Turbo-Pascal). 

They need fonts in a well documented format so they can convert them
to their internal format.

The three widely available font formats I know about is:
	Type 1		from Adobe
	TrueType	from Apple/Microsoft
	F3 (Folio ??)	from Sun Microsystem

Are these format documented in such a way that they are convertible to
a private format?

From what sources are fonts in these formats available?

Anyone out there have experience in converting from (or to) any of
these formats?

Any hints will be greatly appreciated.

Asgeir.
