*NEW!* Rockbox Font Converter! With GUI!
Llorean:
They're embedded since it's one file that contains the converters. Even if it copies parts of itself to disk, and runs them from disk, then deletes them, they're still embedded in it.
Notice the use of the word "effectively." This is "effectively" a single program in that the user downloads on .exe that contains all the functionality.
I'm pretty sure to avoid this, he'd have to distribute his front end as a completely separate program, without embedding the other tools inside of it. You'd need to download an archive with his executable and the other two, similar to how the one he linked keeps the programs as separate files.
rasher:
I agree with Llorean. You need to share the source.
Why are you so reluctant to do so anyway? It's in the spirit of Rockbox, and it will make sure your program will still be useful even if you stop caring about it - then other people could keep it updated (plus a million other benefits).

There are a couple of differences.
1. The "makefont.bat" script is, by virtue of being a batch script, open-source.
2. It *sits on top of* convbdf and otf2bdf - if you want to, you can run convbdf and otf2bdf directly.

It's not exactly reluctance, it's just that I don't think anyone here uses the language it's coded in...but hey, you never know. Sooo...here it is. :) (It's in zip format, with an included README)

Edit: Llorean, can I now put the compiled exe back up? :)
Can I? ;D
Llorean:
It should be okay, yes as long as you comply with the GPL (in terms of providing your own license notification, etc).
