I believe they're shipped along with the source code, they are .bdf files...

thank you.

how would i convert those to say.... ttf?

[Saint]:
MajiKool Dragonâ„¢,

The software you use for this is a matter of personal preference, and probably dependant on your operating system also.

I found numerous tools for this task by simply Googling:

"convet .bdf to .ttf"

I hope I don't sound like a smartass saying that, I simply don't want to say "Sure, you can use 'X' program to do this..." without knowing a: Your level of expertise, or b: Which OS you are using.

I'm sure you'll find one suited to your needs.

torne:
Actually, converting BDF to TTF is not a sensible thing to be doing, because BDF is a bitmap font format, and TTF is an outline format. You can convert outline formats to bitmap formats (that's what font rendering is), but the other way can only be done by dodgy tracing effects which produce awful output unless painstakingly tweaked by a human font designer, or by creating a fake-bitmap-font (where the outline follows strict horizontal and vertical lines of the BDF font's pixels) which does not rescale (since the square pixels will just get bigger).
