TXF fonts in windows?

Windows 10 has a preview function for TTF fonts.

Does there exist a program that does sorta the same but for TXF fonts?

Or does anyone know of a python function that can load such a font so I can write such a program myself, PILLOW didn't seem to support it.

Note: I tried showtxf.exe, but it show an image in too low resolution cannot really make out how the font looks.

I know I'm a little late. But I found this question AND the solution when searching for the answer to the same question.

txf seems to be a private file format for a bitmapped texture font which was/can be used in the context of GLUT by Marc Kilgard, an OpenGL toolkit in the late nineties.

The sourcecode and makefile are still around, along with a little instruction and a tool to generate(!) txf files from ttf font files. Also included is a txf-file viewer (source) where you are supposed to see all glyphs crammed into one coherent bitmap image, IIRC.

I found the source package at this link:
