Hi Shun,

Sorry for the late reply.  The font tools there run under MPW which
can probably run in the Classic environment of Mac OS X (can you
please try?).  To convert Japanese fonts you need bdf2ttbm rather han
bdf2NFNT.  The former writes the bitmap variant of a Truetype font.
I'm not sure whether OS X is able to use the font it generates
however.  Mac OS Classic was able to.

Andrew.
