Which font-server can handle Truetype-fonts that is compatible with AIX?
If I have the font in a "*.bff" or "*.pcf.Z" format, then I don't need a new font-server?
Is there any process for converting *.ttf files into *.pcf.Z?

ttmkfdir
TTMKFDIR(1) General Commands Manual TTMKFDIR(1)
NAME
ttmkfdir - Utility to create fonts.scale files for truetype fonts
SYNOPSIS
ttmkfdir [OPTION]
DESCRIPTION
Originally written by Joerg Pommnitz, ttmkfdir is a tool to create valid and complete fonts.scale file from TrueType fonts. It is very
useful when you plan to use a TrueType enabled font server that is based on the X11R6 sample implementation (xfsft for instance). Great
care has been taken to correctly identify the encodings that a given TrueType font supports.
The ttmkfdir comes with Red Hat Linux has experienced quite some modifications or improvements, include:
- migration to FreeType 2 library
- more accurate checking for big font files
- support for both two X core font backends, Freetype and XTT
- Truetype collection(ttc) font file support
- additional CJK friendly features
- bug fixes
OPTIONS
Here is the detailed usage of Red Hat version of ttmkfdir.
-h, --help
It shows the menus and combo box in iok UI
-e, --encoding <encodings.dir>
ttmkfdir is doing its job by checking each TrueType font file against fontenc layer, please refer www.xfree86.org/current/fonts.html
for details. Default encodings.dir file is /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/encodings/encodings.dir
-o, --output
Specify output, default is fonts.scale in the current directory
-d, --font-dir
Specify TrueType font directory, default is the current directory
-f, --default-foundry
Specify name of the default font foundry, default is "misc"
-m, --max-missing
Specify the maximum number of missing characters per encoding, default is 5. This option applies to the encoding that has less than
256 codepoint definitions.
-a, --max-missing-percentage
Specify the maximum percentage of missing characters per encoding, default is 2. This option applies to the encoding that has more
than 256 codepoint definitions.
-b, --font-backend
For X FreeType backend, use value "1", for XTT backend use value "2", default value is 1. When you have TrueType Collection
font(.ttc), you need to use this option.
-x, --additional-entries
Additional entries mean those extra TTCaps stuff for XTT backend, mainly for bold and italic font support. Or for FreeType backend,
because FreeType still doesn't support bold and italic font, ttmkfdir can generate extra "dummy" XLFDs, so applications who asking
those fonts won't complain.
Default value is "0" means off,otherwise use "1" to switch it on.
-c, --completeness
use less strict completeness tests for encoding tables
-p, --panose
use panose information
