I agree.

I'm not sure.  It may depend on how much you want to do with the font. 
Being able to use it as a wxFont would probably be a major effort 
because as I understand it each of the platforms has different levels of 
support for this.  However using the glyphs in the ttf file as vector 
drawings or bitmaps might be doable with the help of a 3rd party lib 
like freetype.
