If you don't want to bother with a full FreeType+Fontconfig setup to fine-tune the settings (to make sure you're using the greyscale renderer & FT autohinter for example), the utils bundled with FreeType are pretty useful.

I'm not familiar with FT on Windows/OS X, but it should basically work the same way. Also, FontForge uses FT, even on Windows/OS X (AFAICT).
