Is it possible to use TrueType fonts in framebuffer?

Is it possible to use TrueType fonts in framebuffer? Is it possible to use TrueType monosize fonts in console with framebuffer driver (vesafb)? I'm using Ubuntu.

"Yes, it can be done with this type of setup. None of these require the installation of an X Server.

FrameBuffer support
Fontconfig + FreeType2 + TTF Fonts
Framebuffer terminal which supports Fontconfig

fbcon does not support this type of setup. I have used fbterm, It looks great and is very fast."
