     pfdLoadFont_type1 is one instance of a font loader. It loads Haeberli
     font definitions into Performer structures. ^^^^^^^^

I'm not sure if I read this here or was told directly but the idea is to use
one Paul Haeberlis tools to convert standard font descriptions to the
intermediate format.

I expect the convertors you require are in the developers toolbox.
