How do I use a font in .ttc format as the console font?

I rather dislike the available tty fonts and would rather use Menlo, which is what I use in OS X's Terminal. Menlo is in a .ttc format, but (from the contents of /usr/share/consolefonts) Linux seems to require .psf.gz fonts, with different files for each combination of style and size. How do I convert it to the proper format and set it to be used as the font in ttys? (I have a PowerBook G4 running Ubuntu Server 12.04 and an Intel MacBook Pro running OS X Mountain Lion.)
