On further review, I still can't find anything IN THE DOCUMENTATION
that actually says this. Fonts.doc says:
"You can compile any font into C and link it into the
Ghostscript executable."
In the file font2c, it does say:
% font2c.ps
% Write out a Type 1 font as C code that can be linked with Ghostscript.
Apologies if I missed something, but if you have to look this hard to
find it, lots of people are going to miss it.
