Announcing Font Collector to convert fonts to many useful formats...

"Font Collector" is a program which runs on PalmOS® version 5 or
later that converts fonts from many other formats -- including
fonts within applications you may have sitting around on your PDA
-- to Fonts4OS5[1], FontHackV[2], FontSubst[3], PalmBible+[4], and
Plucker[5] formats.

It's free when used to convert fonts to PalmBible[4]+ and
Plucker[5]. For other output formats, Font Collector is shareware
($5.00/USD; free trial with slightly uglified output font). You can
now use lots of free fonts (especially if you have a Treo600[6],
because you can use all old FontHack123[7] fonts which were made
for the same resolution).

You may be surprised how many nice fonts you already have built
into applications like Blazer (usage subject to possible legal
restrictions). You can use FontBucket[8] or iSiloX[9] to create
fonts on your desktop from TrueType fonts, and then use "Font
Collector" to convert them to one of the supported formats.

Supports the following input formats on devices running OS3.5 and
later:

* FontHack123[7] (this is a pre-OS5 format)
* eReader[10]
* Fonts4OS5[1] (not for conversion to other formats)
* FontSubst[3] (not for conversion to other formats)
* FontHackV[2]
* Fonts inside all applications' main .prc files
* Plucker[5]
* iSilo[11]
* PalmBible+[4]
* VersaMail[12] fonts
* FontBucket[8]
* Built-in Sony NX fonts
* Built-in Palm OS fonts on many devices

You can download Font Collector at PalmGear[13], a division of
Motricity[14], or download Font Collector from ZLThemes[15].
