Does such a program exist?  I have some esoteric TeX fonts
that I'd like to install on my laserwriter.

An accepted way of printing TeXed documents is to use the program,
dvi2ps.  It requires that you have some form of already generated
presized set of font definitions (as opposed to metafont definitions)
such as gf, pk, or pxl format fonts.

One of the most current releases of dvi2ps also allows for the use of
builtin fonts.  This same version of dvi2ps also uses the pk format
fonts which use up the least ammount of space of the three
afformentioned formats.  If I recall correctly, most of the software
involved is distributed with the UNIX TeX tape and the dvi2ps is
probably available somewhere for anonymous ftp (upenn?).
