Ian, I hope someone can answer your question because I would like to do the same thing with a couple of vef fonts.
Here's the hard way: Type the entire character set, everything, into a Signlab file. Export the file to eps. Using Corel or a font package like FontLab, import each character back into a ttf format. Then load the ttf in your font directory. This is too much work unless you are really in love with the typestyle.
The other thing we don't know is how SignLab feels about using their fonts in other programs. There may be a copyright issue here. Vic G

thing is Vick these are government main road official fonts so I don't think there should be a problem as I work for the local council doing main roads work as well
