I absolutely have no time to do it, but I have develloped a modus
operandi to find the fonts of any size, any codepage (GPL) and convert
and install them in X and KDE. I have the docs with very little
explanation which I can translate to english (from portuguese) if
nescessary, and answer questions...
It will need some trimming and testing but it is all there!!
I have seen in the recent past, many many questions about this topic,
and maybe someone volunteers a a contributor, with my contribution in
the background... Reasonable Linux konledge would be nescessary, just
enough to edit scripts and undersand some comments

I would be very interested in a simple tutorial on how to install
fonts. My very recent thread "Howto specify a dosemu font' goes into my
difficulties in getting this done.
I finally suceeded by using a combination of the following programs
but I don't really know what they do or what order to execute them in.
So the tools are there.
I used some combination of:
mkfontdir - create an index of X font files in a directory
fc-cache -f -v
xset - set user preferences for X
see xset fp rehash to reset the font paths to current value.
I'd be willing to help with your project. I've used Linux for six+
years and have a fair familiarity with scripts and have written about a
hundred for my own use.
