Hi, Mathematica use PostScript type 1 fonts and you have to use a font editor for type 1 outline fonts. Or how doe your 16 x 16 BMP font will look on screen with magnification 300 % and how it will look on a 600 x 600 dpi laser printer ... If you have a font editor like FontoGrapher you can save type 1 or true type fonts and Mathematica can access the fonts if your operating system knows how to access the font.
