Hi,

Yes, there is a TTF converter.  Go to Allegro's homepage, in the utilities section,
and there is TTF2PCX program.  What it does, it converts a TTF to a PCX file,
and then in the Grabber, you just grab the PCX file (for the FONT object).  The 
full URL is:

BTW, It even does Anti-aliasing on the fonts, which is pretty good!
Bye!
