My original suggestion did not include Postscript programs ,
which are indeed programs like any other.
Nor do I know about entire bitmap font FILES.
Those would include the most certainly
protected name and mabye, or maybe not, protectable downloading info.

What I was suggesting was, for example, taking the glyphs of
a font and making, for example, an equivalent TeX .pxl file. 
Those I can download to my printer and use. Or convert into a
downloading file I generate myself. 

At least this is how it was explained to me.
