Are there any public domain postscript programs for creating a font out of
a BDF (Binary Distribution Format) font description?  If I understand correctly,
BDF is an Adobe standard, so I expected to find one on the adobe archive server,
but there isn't one there.

Any pointers would be appreciated--sorry if this is a commonly asked question.
