Is there a tool available that converts a PostScript 1 font into bdf or 
snf font? 

Specifically I want to preview dvi files using PostScript fonts with xdvi
which uses bdf or snf fonts.  

I have tried pstopk and then mftobdf, but mftobdf gave me core dump. I also
heard about ps2mf, though I cannot find it on archie. But a straight ps to bdf
converter should work best.

Thanks in advance,

Bernd
