In the moment I'm on the way to do exactly that. The reason is that
the fonts can be a single package, suitable for all archs, meanwhile
the both programs are built for every arch in a small package.
One of us tested the Perl script and said it is incredible slow in
comparision to the C program.

I'd like to add the following header into the C files:
This software is in the public domain. You may freely use, modify
and/or distribute it.
is this acceptable?
Further we've written a man page for both programs. When checking it
using one of the Debian QA tools we get the warning:
W: pfb2t1c2pfb: manpage-has-errors-from-man usr/share/man/man1/pfb2t1c.1.gz
/tmp/zmanpkICfH:25: warning: can't find numbered character 243
. It is probably caused by the special characters in your name, which
were put unencoded into the man page. Is is acceptable to spell your
name just Peter Szabo?
Regards,
Hilmar
