Altsys Corp (USA) makes a program that will "suck" the fonts out of any
printer and save them to a Macintosh as Type 1 or Type 3. It's called
Metamorphosis (sp?). They make it so you can take those files and modify
them with their other program Fontographer and make custom fonts.
Works with level 1 and 2. Costs about $100.00 U.S.A.
