use certain tex fonts in normal applications

hello around,

during some work with latex i noticed how much i liked the font txtt which i can use in latex for certain monospace texts (example: http://www.tug.dk/FontCatalogue/txtt/). i like this font so much that i want to use it as my font in my editor etc., but somehow i am not able to import it. i tried the way described in the wiki's texlive article, but unfortunetaly it doesnt import that certain font.
is there any way to import this font for "normal" use?

Use fontforge to open the pfb file (/usr/local/texlive/2013/texmf-dist/fonts/type1/public/txfonts/txtt.pfb for me) and then generate a ttf version.
