    Dr. Song,

    According to our font expert, it is not possible for PLCHHQ to use
    fonts from other font databases.

    The structure of our font database is fully described at:

        http://ngwww.ucar.edu/ngdoc/ng/supplements/cgm_supp/cgm_supp.html

    It is possible to define your own font based on the above
    documentation and this is the only format that Plotchar will
    recognize. To import other fonts to use with Plotchar you would have
    to write conversion functions from the font descriptions in question
    to the font descriptions recognized by Plotchar.
