I need to get the path associated with a character or string of
characters in a given font to be output in a form that doesn't require
the font to be loaded on the machine.
  
ie:  If I have "SpiffyFont" , and I want to have the path representation
of "Spiffy" as a series of moveto's and lineto's and curveto's.


I messed with pathforall, but it doesn't seem to work on a NeXT (none of
my procedures ever get called) , and it also claims to not be able to
work with "charpath".

Thanks.
