PHP Documentation in Plucker with Bitstream Vera + FreeMono fonts
The various versions of the PHP documentation can be found here, in 21 languages.
These were created with the Palm Font Converter written by Alexander R. Pruss. You can read more about how to convert fonts for use with Plucker in the Plucker news section.
The fonts you see used here are part of the “Plucker Free Font Collection“. Download them, install them on your Palm handheld and take advantage of better contrast, rendering and font hinting with anti-alias fonts for Plucker.

THANK YOU! I was trying to do this on my own and needless to say had lots of trouble. If you have time, could you let me know which “distiller” you used to convert the documentation? I tried with Sunrise but java ran out of memory.
