Possible solutions to get bitmaps from Type 1 fonts:

   1.  Buy a Macintosh and ATM---they will do what you want directly.
   2.  Buy a PC with Windows and ATM---they will do what you want directly.
   3.  Buy an Amiga and get the PD Post---it will do what you want directly.
   4.  Buy a NeXT---it's got the interpreter built-in.

Now, as for converting the bitmaps into a format that your previewer
wants, the various TeX programs (like GFtoPK) should give you a good
head start.

As for the legality of using and/or distributing bitmaps derived from such
Type 1 fonts, I refer you to your licensing agreement and a lawyer.
