Getting PIL fonts into my win32 python PIL

[maxm]

I am using PIL 1.0 on windows, and it's tugging along nicely thank you.

But I have to use Helvetica Condensed to add some text to a gif, for a
(long) series of buttons. Does anybody know how to convert a truetype font
to a PIL font ???

My other alternative is to cut out each letter in Phototshop to save them as
images and then use these as a pseudo font. I would rather avoid this.
