Juliusz wrote fonttosfnt which combines multiple BDF sizes into a single
SFNT.  It's in CVS at freedesktop.org in the xapps module

$ cvs -d :pserver:[email protected]:/cvs/xapps co fonttosfnt

should do the trick. It's reasonably functional, the plan was to use it
to eliminate BDF/PCF fonts from the X distribution and ship only TTF
files. That's been stalled for a couple of years as we need to preserve
all of the mystic BDF properties, and be able to regenerate BDF fonts as
needed (BDF being the only X standard for font distribution).
