Does anyone have (or know where I can buy) software to convert type 3 (or
any other widely available outline font format) fonts to polygons (i.e.
coordinate pairs), or just about ANYTHING else?

I need to output quality text in my ploting application, and would like to
be able to buy font data at end user prices and convert it to something my
application could use. I'm already talking to font vendors about buying
fonts plus scaling software, but that is all at OEM prices (very high) and
I'm trying to find a cheaper alternative.
