I own quite a few .afm files (fonts) (type 3 I believe) and would like
to convert those for use with ghostscript which I believe requires
type 1 font files (.pfa or .pfb).  Is there a way to do this?.  Is
there a program I can get to do it?  I'm trying to use it for high
resolution output and I'd like to stay away from bitmap fonts.

Thanks in advance,
