Hi Folks,

is there anybody interested in a PostScript to (Meta-)Font converter?
I wrote a device driver for GhostScript-2.3 (NOT yet -2.4!) that
outputs *.mf source and --- if desired --- a complete TeX-font in a
resolution of your choice. Each PostScript page is put into one letter
(limiting the number of *.ps images per font to, say, 60 when starting
with character 'A'... and using 7 bits(?)). The images (==letters) can
be incorporated into TeX documents.

The code is written for UNIX, means: I didn't worry about the MS-
DOS-specific 64K segmentation stuff. However, some of the PC dvi tools
cannot handle large characters (e.g. size of a page) anyway...
It runs fine on a SS-1+ clone. 

Since I don't understand GhostScript's argument parsing mechanism,
some of the vital parameters are set to defaults and must be changed
by the means of environment vars. A wrapping shell script may do
that for you (I should find one --- somewhere...).
