How did you do it? With two preprocessors? The first reorders the
input characters, the second maps the reordered characters to
composite glyphs?

If the font works with Windows, it works with Linux also (using
FreeType). The only thing needed is the reordering preprocessor.

It depends. For a terminal, BDF is optimal. For printing, you need
outline fonts.
