Z-Soft are coming out with a program do do just this.
The program is called Soft-Type. The current version is not able to
read type 1 fonts, but the soon to come version supposedly will be.
One week ago they (Z-soft) said 3 weeks to release, so it should be
very soon now...

Otherwise all information needed to make such a program is in the
"Black book".
