Indeed it is. I discovered both ps2mf and ps2pk from something Sebastian 
Rahtz wrote in UKTeX some weeks back. I tried ps2pk first but had some 
problems with it. At the moment it still produces characters which contain a 
certain amount of rubbish; I do not have a unix machine (I use an Acorn 
Archimedes risc machine) and getting the program to run at all was not easy. 
The accompanying files refer to there being difficulties on the Amiga and, I 
think, msdos machines; it would seem that there may be something in the UNIX 
code which does not work well on other os's.) 
 
On the other hand ps2mf compiled on my ansi C compiler with virtually no 
modifications. The text it prints with hinting:=0 is very bold and with 
hinting:=1 it is again not perfect---diagonals are over-heavy---but it is
still better than having letters  with odd marks underneath them...
