Convert Fonts to TrueDoc - or OpenType

Does anybody know of any *nix software that converts fonts
into .PFR
or .EOT files?  These are embeded font files for use in html
or css.  It
seems that bitstream has no tools for converting to their
"TrueDoc"
format that I can find, and it also seams that the only tool
in the
world that can convert fonts to "open type" is
WEFT and only runs on
windows.  I don't want to do an emulator just for that!

any ideas?

thanks
rick

Unfortunately I have tried that, but there is no option to
generate .PFR
or .EOT  Maybe there is a plugin or module for that?
