Is a good idea I think. But I'd suggest that you wait a moment until a new 
version 0.5 is on Freshmeat. I recently got an email from Syrupolous again. He 
is on the textrace mailinglist and he said there is a patch now which greatly 
improves textrace conversion quality. He is going to port cbgreek now with 
textrace, because due to the patch, textrace seems to work with ligatures.

P.s. Anyhow, I wonder whether someone found a bug in the pfb fonts apart from 
the brace problem which I found myself.
