Will you ever support TTF fonts?

Probably, eventually.
A TTF font is generally a vector representation of the glyphs (aka letters, numbers and symbols), while the OHRRPGCE's OHF format fonts are a raster format, fixed at 8x8 pixels. This is too small to render a TTF font and still have it readable. Furthermore, text in the OHR is all fixed-width, and most TTF fonts are variable width.
However, in future, when larger and variable-width fonts are supported it is planned to add an automatic TTF-to-OHF converter into the engine. However it will likely only work OK for some TTF fonts that look acceptable when rendered at a low resolution.
