Is there a way to convert PostScript fonts, such as those created in
Fontographer, into PostScript drawing objects that can be edited and
manipulated in Illustrator or FreeHand?  I don't just want to be able
to take a single character and move it around the page... I want to
be able to change the character's shape, extend serifs, add flourishes,
and so on.
