Ok, I see. I don't know how wide spread this format is, but it would
probably be better to create a PSF->FNT conversion tool, as this would
allow GDOS-implementations that we don't have the source for to use
these fonts too.

I just had a quick look at the PSF format and it's pretty
straight-forward. A conversion tool would be pretty simple, basically it
needs to reorder the bitmaps and create the FNT header.
