can truetype fonts be used from within tgif? (linux)

Can truetype fonts be used from within tgif?  How do you tell tgif what
fonts to use?

I have a pdf file which uses the Tork font.  I can display it fine with
xpdf.  I created the file with open-office.

I have used the Tgif.AdditionalFonts X default to let tgif know about
this font, and that works as well (details below).

But the pdf file that tgif outputs doesn't show the Tork font.

The interesting part is that pdffonts(1) says about the file generated by
open-office:

DAAAAA+Tork                          TrueType     yes yes yes    118  0

but the one generated by tgif is:

YHHGBJ+torkb___                      Type 1C      yes yes no       9  0

Presumably my .Xdfaults are wrong:

Tgif.AdditionalFonts: \n\
        tork-medium-r-normal,iso10646-1,tork____\n\
        tork-bold-r-normal,iso10646-1,torkb___\n\
        tork-medium-i-normal,iso10646-1,torkbi__\n\
        tork-bold-i-normal,iso10646-1,torki___

Because:

/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype/tork____.ttf
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype/torkb___.ttf
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype/torkbi__.ttf
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype/torki___.ttf

which yields (somehow)(from xlsfonts(1)):

-larabiefonts-tork-bold-i-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso10646-1
-larabiefonts-tork-bold-o-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso10646-1
-larabiefonts-tork-bold-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso10646-1
-larabiefonts-tork-medium-i-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso10646-1
-larabiefonts-tork-medium-o-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso10646-1
-larabiefonts-tork-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso10646-1


Is it obvious what I'm doing wrong?
