It looks like a few attempts have been made to convert TrueType fonts to ones that can specifically be printed with FB's Draw String.
I've dug up a couple of past forum threads:

https://freebasic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=21916
Are they any help?

Works here on Mint if in FileRequester.bas

#include once "SimpleToggle.bas"

the "t" is changed to uppercase. Thanks, nice program, used it before.
