It appears to me that one should be able to create a font
that uses characters from other fonts - In a type 1 for example one could
copy the font (in VM) and replace appropriate CharString entries with
plain PostScript (I have managed to get this working). However how
does one call and image characters from other fonts?
I am interested in getting some fonts from a type 3 font into a type 1
(on the fly) I assume that I must use the BuildChar from the type 3 font
in some way but have not quite managed it yet. Any ideas?

Thank you,
Peter,
