I have a figure in TeX metafont format that I want to modify; are there any
programs that will convert this to a reasonable PostScript description?  If
I just TeX the thing, it produces PostScript which includes the definition
of a type 1 font, which is not a very easy-to-deal-with format...  So I'm
looking for something that will either convert metafont files to a PostScript
description of lines, arcs, and fills, or failing that, a program that will
decompose a type 1 font in the same way.  Any ideas?
