Yes. You have a very large project on your hands.

With PostScript many people find things start easily but there are
sudden leaps where things become an order of magnitude more
complicated. Embedding your own platform fonts is one of these.

At least (if your printer is up to date) you have type 42 fonts so you
can just include the font tables. With older printers it is necessary
to do a dynamic conversion to type 1 font format, which means parsing
the drawing instructions of every character.

There is similarity and overlap. Many of the base technologies are the
same. You need to read both specifications in great detail to see the
differences.
