ok, this is quite understandable.
I just had impression that your bdf-to-otf program was very close to be 
completed, and expected it to appear in 4.3.0.
Do you have a web page where you host it?
If not - may be, it worth to create project at SourceForge so that people 
would be able to see your work (and may be, hack on it)?

BTW:  Do you have some updated results for BDF-to-OTF font conversion?
I remember that you have posted results some time ago, and wondering wether 
there was some progress since that time.
Can you pls also elaborate what are *not fixed* issues with current code (and 
whaty prevents you from using it on XFree86's BDF fonts right now)?

That's not bad, as not everyone has daily job.
