See Tomas Rokicki's dvips.
It is available for anonymous ftp from labrea.stanford.edu.
Get dvips502.tar.Z and then afm.tar.Z from directory pub.

You will also need a working VPtoVF - the source is available
as pub/tex/etc/vptovf.web and pub/tex/local/etc/vptovf.ch.
See your local TeX expert about compiling this.

I think you need a recent version of TeX which can use virtual fonts.
It works with version 2.991 here.  
The most recent version 3.0 would be best.

Modify lfonts.tex to use the PostScript fonts for text.  
Then rebuild a special version of latex using initex and virtex.
