Is it possible to convert a Type 1 font to a Type 3 font?  I know
that Type 1 fonts have all the hints, etc., but I have a software
Postscript emulator (Ravenscript which is essentially Ultrascript)
which can handle Type 3 fonts but can't handle Type 1 fonts.  And
I have this great Type 1 font that I can't use.  So can it be
done?  Thanks in advance for any hints and advice,
