I am wonering if there is some way to convert scanned images into a postscript
font. I want to do this on an MSDOS machine or on a Mac if the font can be 
transferred. Before anyone complains about licensing and copyrights, I want
to do this from copies of medieval and Renaissance books and from copies 
of ancient (Greek, Hebrew, Egyptian, Babylonian) inscriptions.

Thanks in advance
