That is because my version of the fonts are modified (actually I added a few characters) and this breaks the PCF format in some way, which is why pcftofon.exe says that it's too large. To make it work just use the original smoothansi.pcf font file from <a href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=95348" rel="nofollow">here</a>. Of course smoothansi doesn't have unicode support; if it had it would be a huge success IMHO. Also <a href="http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/docbook/en/html/app-artwiz.html" rel="nofollow">this article</a> may be of some help with localization. You’re right!
