Win7 is similar, but starting with Vista something changed such that PgS can no longer use system fonts automatically: you have to add the directory manually like any other font directory.

Normal fonts (postscript, truetype) don't require any conversion: PgS can just use them. If you are talking about "Amiga" fonts, specifically the compugraphic fonts, they have to be converted. There was a program whose name I forget on the Amiga which could do that. On linux there's a program called FontForge. Basically, those fonts have to be converted to a "normal" font format such as PostScript Type 1 or TrueType. IIRC the compugraphic fonts use bezier curves so Type 1 will be better than TrueType.
