NEED HELP: convert pfm (PC Type 1) or .otf (Open Type Font) to .ttf (True Type)

Hello,

I tried many times to convert a font (called Charter) to a true type font in windows xp. I have two font formats available: .pfm (PC Type 1) and .otf (Open Type Font).

To convert, I tried to use Adobe Type Manager and Crossfonts - both cannot convert the two available font formats into True Type. I am in dispair - can anyone help?

Any solution is welcome!

Chris

PS: The reason why I need this font in True Type is a :
It seems that I need a true type font when I use SMARTDRAW. SMARTDRAW only offers true type fonts when I want to type text, and SD seems to ignore other fonts that are installed in Windows (like the open fonts).
