I had heard that ghostscript would support multiple font formats, one of which would be the BDF format. I have a program, mftobdf, that converts metafont output (either PXL, GF or PK) to BDF files - it's used by texx2. You can pick it up via anonymous ftp from a.cs.uiuc.edu:pub/TeX/uiuctex2.2.tarZ. but that doesn't give you outline fonts, which would be nice, only bitmap fonts at specific resolutions & mags. -- Dirk Grunwald -- Univ. of Illinois (grunwald@flute.cs.uiuc.edu)
